Criminal call


A Most Violent Year (2014)

Written & directed by J. C. Chandor this film stars Oscar Isaac, Jessica Chastain, David Oyelowo and Albert Broots. In 1980s New York a business man tries to keep his business the right side of legal in a highly corrupt market.

I found this to be a pretty enjoyable, better than Chandor's last film but not as good as his first. The plot manages a decent level of tension and balances the protagonists moral dilemmas well. There are decent performances and generally the film is well made.

4/5
