The director tries to keep it real in the best possible way. It’s the original gangster flick. The characters are refreshingly believable too.

What’s there-

Thriller, crime, suspense, real acting, and exceptionally great music.

The fight between Tony and Frank could have been better to create drama.

Verdict-

It’s a good movie, with an authentic plot and it’s worth spending money on.
