Review of A Most Violent Year (2014) by Andthenshewrote — 09 Jan 2015
Beyond boring, so thin you can see through it. Nothing is earned. Lots of false drama. Every problem is headed off at the pass. Often hard to follow, not because it's complex, but because it's so vague that there's nothing TO add up.
It's another example of the emperor's clothes: it's all atmosphere and no substance. And as the Village Voice so aptly said: There's not much violence, but is sure feels like a year.
