Trending Position
I grew up in a small town, and, there are a lot of people in this film where you kind of know people a bit like that. It makes it easy to connect with the characters right away, because you've already sort of met them in your day-to-day life and Buscemi did a stellar job of writing them to highlight ... those qualities that you are going to associate with certain people. And, honestly, that is the biggest draw to the movie. At least for me. It was sort of a "yeah, I know those guys, we already met a couple of times, and, honestly, I never really liked them." And that is fine, because they are still relatable. It's a bit slow, but on the whole, so it might not appeal to Millennials, but for what it is, it's a fantastic film.
