The location shots during the opening credits are memorable & are backed up later by some excellent street scenes. The camera work & the set designs set a suitable mood for the screenplay with an ensemble of veteran character actors the icing on the cake.
The screenplay was fragmented when it switched the focus to one of the fringe characters who were then returned to the shadows. However, for the most part, proceedings were shared by 3 good performers – with the first half being stronger than the second.
