Because of that the movie is more about gangster movies than a gangster movie unto itself. Everything is good about this movie until you get those few moments of self indulgence (Albert Finney's shoot out, the shoot-out with Sam Raimi) which are so strange and played for a laugh that it takes you outside of the experience while the Coens wink towards the screen. It doesn't run with the entire tone of the film. Thankfully they realized how to incorporate those moments better in Fargo.The Taxi Driverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04352371911592068643noreply@blogger.com
