Additional information
A highly styled 'genre' film which can perhaps be seen as a pastiche of all gangster movies.
Tom Reagan is the laconic anti-hero of this amoral tale which is also, paradoxically, a look at morals within
the criminal underworld of the 1930s.
Two rival gangs vie for control of a city where the police are pawns, and the periodic busts of illicit drinking
establishments are no more than a way for one gang to get back at the other.
Black humour and shocking violence compete for screen time as we question whether or not Tom, right-hand man
of the Irish mob leader, really has a heart.
