    Flashy, energetic and stylish and yet somehow empty. It looks super cool and has a great soundtrack if you like techno, but beyond that the film never really goes anywhere. Kind of like a poor man's Layer Cake.

    Read some good things about this one when it was released although most "critics" destroyed it. Watching it seemed to re-tread past tracks of movies like this. Drug dealer gone too far and gets caught between choices/rock-and-a-hard-place. Lacked action, originality and quality characters. Even the end leaves the movie unresolved. Question is, how can I get back the time I spent to watch this movie? Expand

    Refn's version was successful enough to inspire two sequels; at its best, this effort will push Coyle's career a little further along in the U.S.

    Uninventive and unimaginative.

    Watchable, if cliched.
