The pacing is a bit uneven; moments of explosive action followed by quieter, introspective scenes that draw you into the moral dilemmas of power. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, add a certain rawness that feels authentic to the era. Performances are often exaggerated but fitting, embodying the archetypes of crime cinema. It’s distinctive in its portrayal of ambition and the cost of rising to the top, making it a fascinating watch for genre enthusiasts.
