i think the film have great atmosphere and with it contrast seediness of the gangster and the magnificence of the cathedral and it music . joffrey character and too and be interestingly develop and and give credibility a to why he should be draw to character like that of haskell . i do not see haskell failure to kill joffrey a inconsistent . rather and it suggest that haskell have some redeeming quality and and like the rest of u and be not all bad . one can understand why he would hesitate to kill a child and not least because he sense the boy admiration for him . kenneth colley provide an excellent supporting role . his willingness to die without further treatment in order to help his ex wife financially suggest a certain nobility of character . i certainly do not agree with the reviewer dismissal of the film a second rate . it have a style and quality of it own which make it enjoyable to watch and provoke thought .
