This Neo-#Noir starts out slowly, but once it is up to speed in the third act it never slows down.
Everything about it is classic noir: everyone’s out for themselves, no one really has morals, and there’s even a ‘hard G’ in Los Angeles.
Sex, money, gutter-living; it’s all here, and presented with a wonderful script and performances.
Highly recommended.
