February 28, 2009I'm not in the least surprised that other reviewers either love this or hate it to bits - I also bet that it's the younger users to whom the nature of the visual narrative of the film - the way it's all told to us, the viewer - may seem a bit dated.

Definintely one of the most mind-blowing and twisted films ever done. De Niro as Lucifer is simply cinematic gold. His scenes in the church are especially haunting ...( read more)

December 7, 2009Not a very well thought out story, but some interesting

December 5, 2009Smart writing and stellar directing keeps the twists and turns coming in this sordid tale of moral justice. Unconventional camera angles make each scene a piece of cinematic artwork, while a striking play between shadow and light give it a film noir feel. The Faustian-inspired pr...( read more)
