Cinephile No. 487 "A Most Violent Year"
"A Most Violent Year" is the most authentic mobster movie I've ever seen. There is no stretch of the imagination here. An honest man is trying to grow his empire. By doing so, he unleashes a turf war during one New York's most violent years. As the war intensifies, he is forced to protect his family and his business. This is where the drama and authenticity is introduced. Everything that happens from this point on is believable and it will leave you guessing at every turn.
