I did enjoy this film, it has a pretty good atmosphere, it teases where it might take us and the characters of the story are some of the best I have watched in a movie for quite a while.

Unfortunately for both me and the movie about a third of the way through it I thought 'how good would this movie have been if Scorsese did it?' There were a couple of reasons for this.

Whilst they did an ok job of setting the scene of the early 80's I think Scorsese is the master of this and would have created a more immersive vision of the era.

Secondly an injection of violence to up the ante of the drama already created. It didn't need to go down the path of Goodfellas but using a few elements of that movie in AMVY would have enhanced the film.

Still...good movie.
