Review of A Most Violent Year (2014) by Bill J — 10 Jul 2016
This is essentially a movie about a small business owner trying to overcome a lot of bad luck.
A key to the movie is supposedly that owner is an immigrant from Latin America but even after watching the movie 2x I never saw any hint that he's from Latin America. He doesn't speak with an accent. He does not talk to his brother in Spanish. He has a worker who is a believable immigrant but he does not speak to him in Spanish. Yes, he carries on a 5 min conversation with someone in Spanish but maybe he's just smart (which how he's portrayed in the movie). Up to the very end of the movie, I assumed he was Italian.
Plot should have been set better and it would have Mae more sense.
