Review of Hard Eight (1997) by Rick L — 29 Dec 2009
Paul Thomas Anderson enters with a slow-burning noir. I like how the reveal gave the motivations clarity and allowed for the protagonist to be capable of violence. The battle between the old style gangsters and the new breed seems akin to the death of videotape in Boogie Nights.
Samuel L. Jackson 0-2?
