  1. Worth seeing just for the cast.

    06 December 2008
    The greatest element of this film must surely be the acting, (Cuba Gooding JR, Russell Crow, Denzel Washington, Josh Brolin…) and it has been very well cast. This is not Ridley Scott’s best film, at times almost feeling like a bit of a stereotype gangster film, drawing comparisons to slightly superior Scarface and Scorsese but still a great creation that has not gone without its admiration.
