wabi_sabi_6380 shared a tip "Arguably the best crime thriller of its generation. Intricate, intelligent, and morally ambiguous. It's long, but fast moving. Pay attention, because important twists happen suddenly and unceremoniously. The sorts of scenes that would be in slow motion with dramatic music in other films just fly pay like they're no big deal. I don't like mafia thrillers, but I love this movie."

wwfix shared a tip "Itâs excellent, though be prepared to hate the villains with a burning passion"
