The cast is fantastic and the story is very intruiging. This film has been overlooked since it came out. I, for one, recommend it. I liked watching the performances by Fishburne and Langella, two greats.

I agree. It is actually one of my favorite neo-noirs.

I hope to check out the movie one day. Reading here that's a good film makes me want to check it out even more. :D

I couldn' agree more, how the f### is getting only a 5.4?!!!??? people must be crazy, it is beyond me...
Nice carter burwell ost too.
A nasty piece of work and I say that in the best sense of the term. I watched BC for the first time in almost twenty years today and I was even more engrossed than I was the first time I saw it. The rating it has on this site is a crime but c'est la vie because all the actors here (special kudos to Gia Carides) are on their game to serve a script which tells it plot coolly without any pyrotechnics that are fun in other heist/crime/double cross movies but can be cliched at times. BC is a great outlier to that norm and I would wholeheartedly put it up there with contemporaries like THE USUAL SUSPECTS and RESERVOIR DOGS. Yeah, it just that damn good.
'Cause I'm Black you think I did it?
Nice i'll have to try to find this movie somewhere.
shareIt's got the right attitude. It's nihilistic and cynical.
