Worth living someone else's life? If 'love makes you fat', does the lack of it make you skinny? A movie of envy, greed and thirst for power. Well-presented view on a gangster's life, showing the balance between power, class, madness and sins. That balance, though, is not as balanced as one would think.
It is quite fascinating that the role played by Paul Bettany and Malcolm McDowell has no name in the whole movie. It just shows that obsession and jealousy leave you with no personality. Pretty impressive play from the then youngster Paul Bettany.
