A Real 70's flick


This is an impressive film with attention to detail.

You could replace the "2013" with 1973 and get away with it.





Hell, I can get you a toe by 3 o'clock this afternoon... with nail polish.

Yeah the sets were amazing,loved all the cars and gritty 70s NY look.

Yep. Period-perfect design choices (no new cars in the background!). The director does an incredible job of transporting you into the mid-70's .

It bordered upon looking TOO era specific, but they sure did a good job. Noah Emmerich especially looked like he was performing in '73.

reply

agreed to era specific, cars were to clean, the chase scene looked like they were concerned that they did not want to wreck the cars, Kill the Irishman and American Gangster were good sets for the 70's

They did a great job with the period clothing, but got a little carried away home furnishings.

Funny - for me, Noah Emmerich was probably the worst actor choice in the movie not because of anything he did, but because I identify him too much with his FBI agent character in The Americans. There, he's supposed to be living in the early 1980s, so it was a bit odd to think of him as a cop from the early 1970s.

~After enjoying that movie, I figured I would drop by IMDB to read about its problems.

Yeah, when I watched this I thought that Tatantino should watch and take notes. He's always trying to recreate that 70's vibe and this film had it down pat.

the Grand Central station scene was the one setback with the props, clearly new train cars and modern waiting area

"Kill the Irishman" brought me to the 70"s better then this flick

That soundtrack is so Bossanova.
