Conventional but oddly compelling crime drama. Very violent. RG underplayed his part which for a time seemed artificial but as the story opened up he loosened some and became more believable. His character had no backstory which hurt.
Great supporting cast...Carey Mulligan who has one of the most expressive faces in film...Albert Brooks in a strong bad-guy role...Ron Perlman...
Unusual sound design, use of slow motion and choice of music gave the film an off-kilter air.
This was a step up by Refn...more polished than his previous films. Nor for everyone though.
