The ONLY Reason that I didn't rate this movie a "10" is because it had too much gratuitous violence for me, so much so that it distracted me from the Excellent story line.
Indeed, the story line is quite imaginative and intricate. And the methodical unfolding of this story line over the course of the film was well planned and well thought out before pen ever even touched paper. The sets and the props provided a very realistic feeling of the gritty side of early 1950's Los Angeles. The acting by ALL the cast members was outstanding and the actors and their roles were well matched.
I only wish that this had been more of a "drama" than an "action" film. Aside from that "fly in the soup", I think that this is an Excellent movie that is well worth watching. In fact, I think that I'll watch it again,
