Now I gotta watch it. Been avoiding mob movies since that young/Old Deniro Netflix movie

 

[OmegaK2099]

One of the best intros to a movie ever, heart of glass and Eva Mendes

The car chase scene was good too

 

[Numpsay]

Dope movie.

 

[aluc24]

A classic

 

[Pedro Negro]

Underrated gem.

You got peak Eva Mendes and Joaquin Phoenix doing his thing as always.

That hotel they were laying low in the Kew Motor Inn is also an infamous spot to bring your jumpoffs. Many a good night up in there.
