  "description": "A superb, slow burning crime drama with outstanding performances by Gandolfini and Hardy. There’s so much to love about this movie — Hardy’s taciturn Bob taking in Rocco after finding him in the trash by chance — the way in which that leads him to Noomi Rapace’s Nadia and — for the empathy and happiness Rocco brings to Bob — it draws him into a web of local relationships that culminates in an abrupt act of violence. It’s a testament to how people can change and how the right circumstances can pull them right back to where they started. I love this style of crime dramas that enmesh family ties, survival and criminal pressure and desperate circumstances. It's a shame this was Gandolfini's bad performance — not because of the quality of the film, it was stellar — but because we won't get to see him on screen again.",
