Holy f***. Shame on yall if yall don't plan on seeing this on the big screen lol
My God, what a gorgeous motion picture. Automatically my #1 film of the year. From script, to direction, to the acting... you frickin name it. Political references of today, the economy, the realism you feel watching this film is amazing. The cinematography is great and a different perspective on the "gangster" flick that works wonderfully. Hardly a cliche found in this film, (maybe one but it was ok). Director Andrew Dominik is a true master of his craft. Thank God for Brad Pitt's performance man. That dude is in my favorite picture of the year 2 years in a row now.
I kind of felt taken back to a great dialogue driven film with some great intense moments like Pulp Fiction, but it wasn't Pulp Fiction. It was Andrew Dominik's and Brad Pitt's masterpiece, and I recommend for anyone who is a true movie lover. For the anti Twilight bs movie crowd, this is a treat. Pitt is a badass, Tony Soprano is really good alongside Pitt, Ray Liotta awesome, and so is everyone else.
9.8 It would have gotten a perfect 10 if it were grander in cast and story. That's not a bad thing, btw.
