Ending reminded me of the Sopranos


Did Harold get whacked? What happened to Victoria-they show her in another car with a bunch of thugs driving away she must have gotten whacked as well? Anyway, it was a pretty good movie.

It's 1000 times less ambiguous than the ending of The Sopranos.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. This, you know how it ends.

The ending is sublime for Hoskins' subtle changes of expression as he realises what's happened and what his fate is going to be, and also for the wonderful length of that final shot which goes on and on but is not one second too long. Fantastic directing.
