A Most Violent Year

Decent Gangster-ish movie.  Everybody knows I love my Gangster movies.  This one is a quiet, sometimes intense, but not full on Gangster movie.  The elements are there.  Our main character tries so hard not to be a gangster but sometimes you just can't help the nature of the beast.  He is married to the daughter of a big gangster in the area (who we never see).  Oscar Isaac does pretty good in his role.  He's trying to be a successful businessman and avoid trouble with the District Attorney.  Good drama.  There was one or two suspenseful scenes.  Lot of great gangster talk but not enough gangster action in my opinion. 
It was decent.  That's the right word.  Definetely worth watching.
