Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

eifert this is one of those films... takes place in the 80s but it's clear the makers didn't LIVE then. Soul Patches, tattoo sleeves and goatees are so 90s. There was none of that in 1983. Believe me.The film is humorless and angry. You really have to be in the mood to see people tortured and screaming in each others faces for what seems like the entire film.Great -- great -- cast wasted. Interesting to see Defoe and Berenger together again. Who would have guessed Defoe was the one that wouldn't age? There's a reason this one went straight to video and streaming. It's a mess of a movie.

John Orosz A roundhouse kick to the usual cop flick. I was glued to the screen as the story builds from what appears to be a typical police drama to biting, suspenseful and dynamic plotting. You would find this movie as a cross between Serpico, Jack Ryan and Miami Vice. Although I say Miami Vice in the way they present the slick characters but without the ridiculous special effects that don't occur in real life. On top of this the development of the story and the twists from who is feeding information from one agency to another and one gangster to another you have to pay close attention. The pacing is flawless as momentum just keeps building and the story lines fall into place. I have felt let down by so many unrealistic cop flicks that are gun heavy, violence heavy and let's face it, a farce from what is the typical and realistic operations. So if your looking for a show that delivers top down, gritty mafia style take-down movie you just found your answer!

LeonLouisRicci A Heavy Duty Cast of Crusty Hard-Asses make this Worth a Watch. The Film has some Intrigue and Attraction with its Nasty Criminal Underbelly and the Characters are Believably Bad. But what goes Wrong here is some Erratic Storytelling and a Final Shootout that is about as Common as Could Be.Based on a True Story the Neo-Nazi Element is Only Touched on in a Few Throwaway Lines and Tattoos with a Flag off in the Corner as the Camera Passes by. The Turning of the Key Witness is also Awkward at Times and the Criminal Kingpin and His Lawyer/Lobbyists are never quite Fleshed Out to Satisfaction.The Climactic Gun Blazing Confrontation is a Big Easy Letdown with Bad Guys and Good Good Guys just Showing Up and Dropping Dead. Overall an Unsatisfactory True Crime Entry that is Neither Awful or Very Good but Passable.

kosmasp Matt Dillon seems to be catching a breath here in more than one way. While the movie is being promoted (in some countries) as being a movie by the man behind the Boondock Saints, it is not Troy Duffy that is directing here. It's the directorial debut of one of the producers. But he seems to have learned a few things from Mr. Duffy (hopefully only the good things).Casting Dafoe was great, bringing Matt Dillon as said before also a good choice. The movie itself is not as great as some other police vs. mafia movies we've come to know, but it is more than decent. The movie has some nice action scenes, but lives more of the tension and the suspense it builds up, especially between the characters.
