    Colourful gangsta movie

    Extremely gory but very exciting, I really enjoyed this film. It's beautifully lit in a striking palette of gold, red and green, very interesting, the actors are dressed to complement the sets. It's wonderfully performed by a very strong cast,, the story is a little convoluted and the outcome a wee bit OTT (reminded me of Bonnie and Clyde) but the whole thing is a blast.
