Review of A Most Violent Year (2014) by Mike_M — 03 Jan 2015
Pros: well-acted, subtle, simmering, never melodramatic. For a crime story set in 1981 NY, it sure doesn't come off as cliche.
Con: it's a little slight or shruggable. This is the type of nuanced story (a guy tries to keep his nose clean in a dirty industry and kinda sorta succeeds) that needs perfect characterization and charm, and it doesn't quite have all that it needs.
