There's never been a better setting for a pitch black noir gangster film than the slag heap wasteland of Northeast England in the 1970s. Caine miraculously finds a emotional center in an otherwise duplicitous, amoral bastard of anti-hero. If you catch the remastered version then I envy you.

Brad Pitt speaking in a dialect even his co-characters can't understand? Check. Wild & all over the place plot & writing to match that? Check. Some 10/10 perfromances all the way down to the dog?
