I've had this movie from Netflix for FOREVER. I watched the first hour FOREVER ago, and I'm trying to finish it tonight. It's a long film. And it's a little complicated for my short attention span.
One scene in this movie sticks out for me. what about you guys? When Densel'z character proves his position in the neighborhood with the guy who wants 20%. You know what I mean if you've seen it.
Russell Crowe's accent in this movie is better than fantastic.
Stottlemeyer from MONK plays a cop. Whaddaya know?
In a strange way (perhaps), this movie reminds me a lot of The Sopranos. You have this world existing within the working world. An underworld that operates with its own rules, its own morality. Its own code. and when you're inundating yourself with this new code, you wonder how it fits with you. I mean, it's like Brad Pitt's character says in The Devil's Own, "What if it was you and yours?" I mean, I'm as white as they come, with some serious country-fied roots, so perhaps its with a sense of naivete that I watch these films and series.
Ugh, and the thing that bugs me about a lot of films? Conversation that's supposed to be a whisper? WE STILL NEED TO HEAR IT.
At one point, Russell gets into a bit of a bind, and he looks down. I immediately think, "Hey... he's going for his cell phone ... wait, no...."
