This would have to be the worst gangster movie ever made. It had no direction to follow, the characters were weak and the acting 4th rate. This movie is best used as a coaster to place your drink on. Do not waste your time with this crap you would have a better time sleeping on a nest of bull ants. This movie could have been over in 3 minutes and it would have still had as much interesting things in it. Note to movie maker: If this is the sort of tripe you are going to serve up don't bother. Thios was obviously a low budget film and whatever money was spent on it was very much wasted. This movie should not have been made but as it was August should have been killed off in the first scene to save us from 2 hours of boredom. CRAP CRAP CRAP Even when August got killed it was an anticlimax.

While I was reluctant at first, my friend convinced me to rent this film. This film was one of the best I've seen this year. The acting was fantastic, the story kept me guessing and the directing was tight yet imaginative. This is the kind of filmmaker that I'd like to follow. I rented Craig Singers first film "Animal Room" it was real good but too dark for me.I also heard about a film called Dead Dogs Lie but have had no luck in finding. read he is working on a horror film and I'll definitely check that out. I recommend this film for anyone who wants to see a true indie classic.

This is one of the coolest films I have ever seen. It got better from one scene to the next and I loved the acting. I think I liked the August character the best but Ronnie was really great too. The direction was really great. This film really stayed with me. I liked the way the story unfolded. Some films are so predictable but not this one. I was on a very interesting ride and loved the way everything came together in the end. I thought the music was OK but visually I have to give this film an "A" Plus! I wish there were more Hollywood films like this. I think A Good Night to Die ROCKED! I read that this filmmaker was doing a horror film and hope it's as good as this one.

this film is a joy after the usual run-of-the-mill indie mediocrities. the story is taut and well written and the director demonstrates the deft touch of an accomplished storyteller. kudos to the director of photography who seems to have unlocked the new york city visuals in such a story-friendly manner. special admiration for the acting of michael rappoport who steals the show. his talents alone are worth the price of admission. this is a sharp little number that can just be enjoyed for its own sake, without all the pretensions of so many films that cry out to be dissected by the "critics". this is the type of film that sundance wishes it could generate.
