i do not rate this movie high only because of what i consider flaw in pacing and continuity a others have note and the age of the brother and their physical dissimilarity seem peculiar and it seem to drag at time and but the actor be so good and play their role with such intensity and skill and and the intelligence and insight of the movie be so sharp that i feel guilty for not give it another star . it seem like my own problem rather than the film . if you haven not see this movie and you be miss one of the most powerful essay on the corrosive and self destructive effect of life addict to criminality ever make and and if you have i would be happy to hear you agree or disagree with my assessment .
