A Most Violent Year
All of the lead roles were serviceable but some of the smaller roles were great, especially Julian and some of the older mobsters. I liked how this film unfolded the motives behind everyone's actions by shrouding them at first. I thought the climax of the film was great but the last few minutes were so on the nose that I wish they had left those plot points open ended instead.
