I've been seeing some mixed feelings on this, so let me attempt to clear the fog. I don't think on premise and having great actors alone, this movie floats. Big picture, it's not very original sort of reminds of Scarface but on a smaller scale. I've seen great casts get ruined like with The Outsiders, this, I don't think is the case. The writing is great but there's no shock there as Quentin Tarantino was behind it. The characters feel alive and distinct from each other. The storytelling is simple but smooth like a fluffy pillow. The soundtrack is something I have to point out is lacking. I think it simply doesn't fit the events of the film. The camera work and scenes are super self-aware and adds to the level of detail. The progression and buildup to the ending is brilliant tricky to see coming based on the first act. It might not be a strong 10/10 but it nonetheless is for me.
