A hard hitting script, a stunning sound track, a fantastic cast all combined with one of the great directors of the 20th century, make this one of the best films ever made. Including the finest virtuoso continuous moving camera sequence in cinema, the most memorable performance from (the lead actor whose name I can't include in this review as the database spell check won't accept it) since Taxi Driver, this film jumps right out of the screen, grabs you by the collar, and doesn't let go until the credits roll in. Showing everything that is great and terrible about Mafia life, from how to chop garlic when you're inside prison to how to arrange and execute a mob hit. Do not miss this film - I say it again - do not miss this film.
Watching this savage look at the inner psyche of a twisted mind makes you shiver with fear, but you remain hooked with morbid fascination. Ignoring societies barriers, the film takes you through a world of sadism and pain, stripping away the rational filters which everyday life shrouds us in. This is a truly uncompromising work - going far further than "The Collector" dared to go. This is not a fun film - but it should be seen by anyone who ever wonders how far the human mind can go. A truly unique and important work.
