    Guys I saw this film last night at Times Square...It is one of first best films of the year...Hands down it has to be remembered during oscar time. I am hoping for a national heavy release as this is loaded with stars. The guy who made Blue Valentine with Gosling got this project off the ground and one can tell how much contrast there is in quality. He is having a great career so far.

    It is incredibly intense drama that has revenge, cop drama, robberies...If you liked Drive and other Gosling films or intense films like The Town, Training Day, Heat, Mystic River. This film is going to be up your alley.

    Its a great story that comes full circle (Sort of like Crash), also ambitious and original in its scope, I cant help but wanting to see it again.

    Amazing. P.S. Ennio Morricone contributed to the score!

    After being so amped for this and checking rottentomatoes for months looking to see updated reviews, my fiancee and I were ready to go see it...turns out its not in our theater :mad: The closest place is about 45 min away.

    I don't get why it is limited release when it has at least 3 big names in it

    It was interesting and entertaining, but I thought it dragged terribly at points.

    This film was insane! I like that there was no clear good guy/bad guy, at least IMO.
