About This Movie

So, 1987 is one of those films that really digs into the psyche of its central character. You've got this older gangster, right? He’s reflecting on his past, specifically this one night with his best friend, Ricky. The pacing feels deliberate, almost like it’s pulling you into a memory that’s both vivid and hazy. The atmosphere is thick with nostalgia and regret, and you can feel the weight of choices made. Practical effects are used sparingly but effectively, grounding the violence in a gritty realism. Performances are raw—especially the lead, who brings a sense of weariness that captures the essence of a life lived on the edge. It's distinctive for how it marries crime with a deeply personal story.
