FEATURED STAFF REVIEW: AMERICAN TRANSLATIONmore >>>
Anyone with similar appetites will be able to relate (I certainly did, and I don't have even half the compulsion or stamina of the character). With crisp, technically marvelous cinematography and utterly captivating single-shot takes (don't miss Carey Mulligan's haunting rendition of "New York, New York" or her late-in-the-film confrontation with Fassbender), Steve McQueengives us such an intimate view of his characters that it is hard not to understand their impulses and simply hope for the best.
