I think this movie is under-rated. Unfortunately, I checked the IMDb rating before I watched the movie and watched it with the expectation of being disappointed. However, as the movie progressed the acting and plot surprised me. It was well worth watching, and is a movie that I will remember as being great.
Many of the characters are difficult to like or relate to. The profanity was a turn-off for me. However, it told an interesting story without resorting to cheap sentimentality. If people are expecting a typical Hollywood style blockbuster then they will be disappointed. I thought it was a realistic portrayal of shady characters who are difficult to like but did a good job of developing the characters throughout the movie. In the end, a few characters go from being unlikable degenerates to heroes.
