Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Supelice Dreadfully Boring

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Michael Ledo Bob (Tom Hardy) tends bar for his cousin Marv (James Gandolfini). He is slow to speak and appears to be a bit of a dim wit. This isn't just any Brooklyn bar, but a drop bar for Chechnya mobsters. Money made at night from drugs, gambling and prostitution get dropped off at a random bar, sometimes this bar. One night the bar gets robbed, which happened to be a drop night. This leads to a plot that twists and gets deep, with clues and a puppy thrown in. Swedish born Noomi Rapace seemed right at home with a Brooklyn accent.The film is a low action crime drama and a mystery that you didn't know was a mystery.Good performances to create drab characters. Not a film for those who like a lot of action with larger than life characters making instant catch phrases.Parental Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity.

Joris van Eil It's impossible to substantiate my issues with this movie without spoilers, because my main issue is with the plot.Cinematographically it's all well done. The acting, i wasn't too enthousiastic about, but that also had to do with the casting combined with how the characters were drawn. It's weird, but i can only conclude that this just wasn't a role for Tom Hardy.He's meant to come across as this simple, morally relatively good man, who is later reveiled as the toughest killer of them all. But the problem is, Tom Hardy already has this air of moral ambiguity, of psychological depth around him, however simple a man he wants to portray. This largely undermines the effect of the beforementioned plot twist. I could just discern that the makers of this movie were aiming for it, but because of the kind of actor Tom Hardy is, however good, it doesn't work.The other way around, the guy who was supposed to be the real baddy, who turned out to be kind of a loser, also didn't really work. Again because this was all dependent on the turnaround that was supposed to originate from Tom Hardy's character. Without the effect of this twist, the movie never sures the level of a mediocre, slow, and even kind of boring crime story.Also, because of the focus on this battle between the protagonist and his enemy, which again failed to come across, the maffia boss was even less intimidating than he would have been were he the main antagonist. Same goes for James Gandolfini's character. That character worked way better than Hardy's part, but i feel he should have been the focus of the story. His scheming is barely more than a plot device for Tom Hardy's intended reveal, but at least he was on the same path all throughout the movie, and the audience could relate to his motivations. But now that Hardy was the protagonist, and we are supposed to relate to him, how can the writers expect to hide the fact that he was not wat he was portrayed to be in the beginning of the movie?It would have been better if we would have followed cousin Merv more, seen things from his perspective, most of all his dayly dealings with Bob, and suddenly get confronted with the real Bob. So in short, the movie is well made, but it fails plotwise, and it pains me to say that Hardy was simply miscast.

Filipe Neto This movie revolves around a bar where organized crime (apparently Russian mobsters) often collects illicit proceeds. But the bar is robbed and the crime money is stolen and Bob, one of the bar managers, has the task of getting the money back. At the same time, a subplot is developed involving this character, a Russian veterinarian named Nadia, a dog found in the trash and a dangerous bandit, Eric Deeds. The film blends two stories connected by the central character and the script still has a certain scent of gangster movie. However, it is not a particularly interesting story.What gives strength to this film is the strong cast and their positive interpretations. James Gandolfini gave life to Marv, a man embittered by the loss of his bar. The actor managed to give his character a powerful and psychologically rich personality. It was with this movie that he said goodbye to the big screen, dying shortly after. Tom Hardy is equally to be congratulated. His character is the most powerful and psychological of the film, since he spends all his time avoiding trouble but ends up showing his anger at the end. He seems like a pretty normal guy to some extent, and the actor does it all in a very convincing way. Matthias Schoenaerts is one of the biggest villains and gave life to a mobster who immediately makes us believe in being capable of the worst things. Naomi Rapace played well, but I was not particularly surprised.Everything else in this movie is average.

majaho21 The simplicity of the story and the slow- paced narrative of the film are alluring. The film deals with money laundering and the underground life of a normal popular bar in Brooklyn. And the main protagonist is simple, he just "tends the bar", nothing more.The quality of the film lies in the fact that simple events and naive and everyday talk between characters create a tremendous turbulence in the way the neighborhood works. *Spoilers* A simple dog-lover and worker at the bar, Bob, tries to live as normally as possible. He works with his cousin Marv who is a bar owner. However, things have changed after the Chechen mob decided to use the bar for their illegal transactions. While Bob accepts the things as they are and lives within that hierarchy, Marv is desperate and angry because his role in the bar is minor. He just has to obey the orders by the mobsters. Since he cannot accept the situation, he unsuccessfully tries to trick the gangsters and steal their money.Bob's and Marv's roles are tremendously played. While Bob talks slowly, doesn't understand irony, seems to be not very smart, Marv is a boss-wanna-be. He gives advice, guides and bosses the "weak", unwillingly itting that he is just a pawn figure in the criminal world. Near the end, we are aware the director has managed to "trick" us - there are many tiny plot twists based on our belief that the characters are one- dimensional and predictable. A very exciting (although there isn't much action) and interesting film!
