When I first read about this film, I automatically took it like they had ripped off the movie title from the Ridley Scott fantasy classic. A friend of mine brought it up recently so I decided to check it out. The highlight for me was Tom Hardy playing as twin brothers who are gangsters in this sort of 50s noir settings. It seemed at some parts he's trying so hard that it looked and sounded ridiculous with his accent, haha. But I do like the technique they did to appear as there are two of him in the frame, perhaps with double exposure(?) and/or stunt double. That part reminded me of other past films that have done this such as _Double Impact_ (1991) with Van Damme, or _Multiplicity_ (1996) with Michael Keaton, and one I rewatched recently called _Doppelganger_ (2003). But the story, setting and characters made me think of films like _The Great Gatsby_ (2013) with Leonardo DiCaprio, and _Public Enemies_ (2009) with Johnny Depp. Of course I remember Emily Browning from _Sucker Punch_ (2011) and _Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events_ (2004). The drama arc is rather very minimal. The music selection is very nice though, almost as if they tried to cram as much of the good oldies as they can every chance they can get within the two-hour film length. Kray Kray
