"Six ways to Sunday" is not a 'funny gangster's flick' where the important plot is not if the boy is cold-blooded or not... This movie is a psychological view of the violence triggered by a real ill sexual life. If we do a deep research, we'll find that all the actual gangsters-mobsters shared the same problem. The script has suspense well built, using good tricks in order to surprise you. It's an imaginative gangster movie -if you insist- avoiding the Tarantino's BlahBlahBlah, the Coppola's Glam, the Scorcese's DeNiro-ism/Pesci-ism and the DePalma's Stereotypes...
