Overlong, with a story that could have been told in half the time. Still, the cast are good, especially Norton as the twitchy detective. The plot is as convoluted as Chinatown, a film that this movie resembles in scale. Purists won't care, because the atmosphere the film evokes is enough to hold interest, despite the narrative ramblings. It's a good film, although I think I need to rewatch it to get a fuller grasp of what went down at the end.

An above average movie with a good plot. I wouldn't call it life-changing and the twists and turns provided in the story weren't top-notch, however it was an enjoyable ride. The story gripped me and I became invested in our protagonist. The ending was satisfying yet for those always on the lookout for a "good will always win" conclusion won't get it here. I would recommend this movie to those who enjoy grim storytelling and characters that are not defined as good or bad. _Thank you for reading, I hoped this helped you_

It's an okay noir movie but there are a lot better. The score is pretty good. The story is generic and it feels very long.

I love me a film noir flick. This was perfect. The music, the setting, the story… a typical detective flick, except with a twist. Or a tick, rather. Edward Norton shines again. Does his talent know no bound?

F-f-f-frank! Frank! Frankly-Franko!!! F-f-finally! Finished! Finished!
