Best movie ever!

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

A group of corrupt police officers in Atlanta are on the hook to steal for the Russian mob, with each of them engaging with their own ever shifting lines of morality. One cop's son is used as a pawn by the son's mother, who is the sister of the Russian mob boss trying to get her husband out of a Russian prison. Follow that so far? Yep, it's pretty convoluted. As far as the casting, Aaron Paul as a useless junkie wasn't a good move. It is hard to feel sympathetic for his character, and you find yourself just wanting him out of the way as the movie progresses. Refreshing was a barely recognizable Kate Winslet as the Russian mob matriarch, and Casey Affleck not playing his usual morose type of character. Also, Woody Harrelson does a great job as Casey Affleck's uncle, an alcoholic detective on his last legs, but still with keen police instincts and the desire to protect his nephew's life and career as a young officer.

A group of former special ops lead by a crooked cop work for the "Russian Kosher-nostra" the Russian Jewish mafia in Atlanta. After pulling one heist, they are tasked with a second one where they would need a lot of time. They opt to create a diversion by killing a cop, creating a 999 call. This would give them the time.While we get that plan early, it isn't executed until late in the film. What the bad guys are up against is a salty Woody Harrelson detective with paid informants and quite the wordsmith. Outside of the Harrelson character, the film was a run of the mill crime drama/thriller.Guide: F-words. No sex or nudity.

I'm a fan of John Hillcoat (especially the criminally underrated "Lawless") so I had to check this one out. It's a great premise, and reminded me in some ways of Tarantino and "Reservoir Dogs" with a gritty and ultra-violent realism. If you are a fan of action/crime then you'll enjoy this

It seems I didn't hate this movie as much as some of the other reviewers, but it's definitely a far cry from where it should have been. The acting is still great, but with such an amazing ensemble of actors, you naturally come to expect so much more. It's not the worst movie ever made, just a let down with all the potential it had.
