A rare Hollywood film that deals with both the violence and the turmoil and the regret these men face when they slow to catch their breath, it's searing for
most the emotional ride, with some genuinely chilling moments of impulsive human malevolence and a morally ambiguous climax that twists the knife of poetic justice.
Finally, it closes with the best finale of any film this year, the
most heart - wrenching ending I've seen in a studio film in years, that for once shows us the
emotional toll that a taut thrill -
ride would have on a person in real life.
