REVIEW

+ I don't normally like gangster films - but really enjoyed this one. +

+ Constantly gripping storyline that never gets boring. +

+ Johnny Depp once again steals the show - and its always good to see him play a bad guy. +

+ It's nice to see Christian Bale give a good performance after the shocking acting from him in Terminator Salvation. +

+ Loads of very tense moments, all of which are perfectly paced. +

+ There are some spectacular moments of action. +

+ At times, the camera style makes you feel like you are actually there. +

- The digital cameras used actually ruined the movie for me - it looked so poo and blurry! -

- The music wasn't as good as it could have been. -

- Oh god... that camera work.... -

BEST MOMENT

I'm going to say the last scene. The tension is perfectly built and really pays off in the climax of the film.
