A story well told.

Mildly interesting history of gangland.

Bad.

Not bad for a movie written by the US Navy.

I’d like to thank this movie for teaching me the following valuable lesson: As long as you are 6’2″, cut like a boxer, and have a wealthy parent who provides you with your own penthouse apartment, full-time housekeeper and tutor who will cater to your every whim, you can overcome the horrible misfortune of having some ornate tattoos. Also, as long as you build a gazebo on your roof, you can win the girl of your dreams by stalking her for a few months before eventually kidnapping her and holding her hostage in your apartment.

Excellent gangster dialogue.

Immensely frustrating and brilliant thriller.

Contains some blatant errors in logic, but still a good, metaphoric western.
