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? Check. Everyone needs to mix their arthouse film binging with the occasional quirk-piece, let me save you some time on the movie selection and make that decision for you โ watch Snatch.
I love a good heist movieโฆ if you can call this that.
And I love 70s Pacino (Godfather 1 and 2, โฆ And Justice for All)
If you like seeing this man freak out, walk donโt run watch this now
