My quick rating - 6,5/10. This was a very Tarantino-esque attempt depicting two gangs (mob style, not thug style) set in the 70s being holed up in a warehouse, and end up in a gun fight for survival. The entire movie takes place in the confined space, which lends to the atmosphere. At times, it seemed so cramped and I felt wondering how in the world they weren't actually getting shot (if you watch it, you'll see what I mean). The characters themselves also help in making the movie work since without giving a crap about them, this movie wouldn't have much going for it. The quality dialogue carried the movie moreso than the gunfights, since that is the focus. I am not surprised the USA audience didn't get much into this only because of the type of movie it is, and didn't say "Quentin" anywhere in it. Shame since it was pretty entertaining, and didn't drag itself out as well.
