Genuinely terrific.
Ray Liotta and Jason Patric have terrific chemistry. And Ray Liotta delivers a performance on par with Goodfellas in this movie.
I love the way it's shot as well, it gives such a gross, uncomfortable feeling to the movie that is started with the opening sequence that is perfect. This establishes the main character and his devil may care attitude and his background.
And the character writing in this film is absolutely phenomenal, the character do actions that actually make sense and there are reasons for them that are explained or revealed. We understand these characters as people and not pawns for the writer's fun action sequences.
It's such a well-made movie, this and The Grey give me hope that Joe Carnahan can make something as great in the future.
