    Good gangster movie, all the charachters are strongly bonded with each other wether by blood,friedship,love or loyalty...the main finds himself struggling with the dilemma of betraying or not this bonds.Very gripping and intense.

    An impressive dark gangster movie, The Ending is amazing & I also liked Terry's lines about Idea & reality, 3.5 stars because it's somehow overlooked, pity

    Kind of a standard undercover cop/betrayal type movie set in the New York gangster scene. It has an interesting enough story and an amazing cast - Oldman is the standout - but it isn't very memorable, apart from Oldman. Maybe if I had seen it around the time it came out it would have had a more lasting effect.

    Extremely overlooked film. A dark and clever gangster film with a terrific cast. A career best performance for Gary Oldman, probably second to Norman Stansfield in Leon, he gives a chilling performance as an Irish gangster. Not only does he play a psychopath-who-keeps-body-parts-in-his-freezer fantastically well but he also makes him likeable. Also in my opinion he made Sean Penn seem boring in this film.
    It's tense, gritty and action-packed but unfortunately not without it's cliches, it also tends to lag with the scenes with Penn and Robin Wright.
    Highly recommended, Gary Oldman's knockout performance is reason enough to see it.

    Very little seen irish gangster film. Too bad it was released at the same time as Goodfellas. Great performances all around. An wonderful overlooked gem.
