brooklyn bound be an excellent movie . one should not mistake it decidedly unflashy tone for any shortcoming in technique . it writer or director rich devaney know what he be do . no knock on the man but it be incredibly refresh to see a movie about a conflicted criminal that doesn not rip off scorsese . shot in east new york project and pre hipster williamsburg dive bar and tenement and one luxury high rise that seem just a squalid and brooklyn bound team with life own and full of vivid and human character and humor and menace . you do not have to be a fan of fresh or superfly ( though both be good movie ) to enjoy this movie . it real and it compel and i will be think about it for a long time . i be a movie snob . and i be really look forward to whatever mr. devaney do next . he really know how to tell a story with a camera . he get great performance out of his mostly non actor cast and he doesn not coopt one frame of his story to show of any of the superb filmmaking technique that he surely possess . the event of the movie be ting with a senselessness in the best sense and a film with a big heart that get break .
