Title: dull gangster movie
Review: I went to see this having no idea what it was about... and found it dull, emotionally shallow, and highly predictable. It had none of the flair of The Untouchables or diligent detailing of The Godfather, the sets and locations were mediocre, and the lighting is pointlessly dark.It was in every way forgettable. I think too much has been made of Sam Mendes' direction of ths film (he's a fellow Brit, who commanded American Beauty magnificently, but not so here). The character development was wafer thin to the extent that you didn't really care who was killed. The plot was excruciatingly obvious.Hype is a dangerous thing when the goods are below 100%. Quad erat demonstratum.
