While I do like it a lot, I don't want to oversell it. There are things I have issues with. The first murder, which occurs quite early on, is intense enough that I almost regretted my decision to see the film. And as I've mentioned, the ending is a bit of a mess. Those club scenes... And Pacino, playing a gradually more and more fucked up straight boy getting sucked into the S&M scene is utterly fascinating.
And I'd be lying if I wasn't thinking of a couple of CI5 agents whilst I was watching certain scenes. ::clears throat::
