8/10
strong performances
27 April 2016
I came across this flick due it's title. Never heard of it I thought it was going to be a horror but what a big surprise it was. I found it an excellent flick with great performances by Robert Duvall (Burt Grusinsky) and Joaquin Phoenix (Bobby Green).

I didn't had any problem with the story although it's a bit weird that a mobster can become a copper. A snitch I can take but this. But somehow I didn't had a problem with it because it fits in the story itself. The surprise was for me the effects used which were excellent and even gory on some parts (headshot). Eva Mendes (Amada) doesn't have a great part but fits in well with her sexy vibes and even a bit of nudity. Mark Wahlberg (Joseph) has a smaller part but does fine what he has to do.

Surprisingly good mobster flick that never bored me for a minute.
