No 67 on The Times' Top 100 Films of the Noughties

My girlfriend and I are watching through all the top 100 films of the last decade (from The Times) and this was at number 67.

I was looking forward to watching this beforehand given the subject matter (I love crime films) but I just didn't enjoy it. There was no real development behind the characters, which made it a very disjointed watch, and there were long periods with very little happening. I did kind of enjoy it by the end when the stories were resolving but it seemed like a missed opportunity to make a great film to me. Such a contrast with City of God (which is next on the list) which is a great film!

We're rating each film as we go along with a view to having our version of the top 100 at the end. If you're interested, you can keep up to date with our progress (and see the The Times' full list) on our blog at:
