Tom Hardy plays one subtle hardcore guy in this Gangster-ish movie. It is set in Brooklyn. I thought the movie was okay. Not bad or special. It entertained. Lots of twists and some unpredictable moments but overall, it didn't feel too fresh. I did like the realism in this movie. Gangsters control certain bars and clubs. The actual owners don't have a say unless they want to be killed. This one is about a certain gangster controlled bar that gets robbed. Tom Hardy plays a bartender and practically an assistant manager of this bar. He knows the ins and outs. He's a quiet character with a dark past. James Gandolfini plays the manager of the bar. He's got lots of problems of his own. Anyways, the robbery turns into a conspiracy and a big mess. There is no big payoff at the end but it's smooth like a shot of old whiskey. Look at me writing comparisons. That's enough for today.
Worth the redbox rental. I don't think it's worth buying.
Went with Brooklyn Lager with this one (even though Dos Equis is the beer that was referenced throughout the movie).
