Very nice unknown gangster film with good acting.
The atmosphere and setting are very well done.
The story is beautiful and remains captivating.

Good film in which a young man is allowed to do all sorts of jobs by a mafia boss. Although the story itself is not very impressive, there is enough speed and the film gradually gets better. The film is set in New York in the mid-thirties and is nicely dressed in that capacity. Furthermore, a cast with quite a few familiar names.

Nicole Kidman marathon 5#.
Also seen this movie before. I couldn't remember the first part well, but I did remember the second half. Quite a nice movie with again a lot of familiar names. Although I do think that Billy is admitted to Hoffman's ''gang'' quite quickly and is very familiar with everyone very quickly. That doesn't feel very natural and I didn't understand that either.
It seemed like Kidman wouldn't have such a big role, but it's slowly getting bigger. I think she's at her best so far. At least I think the straight blonde/red hair suits her face better.
Still, the rating goes down a bit, because I don't think it's good enough for a 3.5*. It wasn't always interesting to watch and the denouement goes too fast. Now a 3.0*.
