A Most Violent Year

CriticsCritics: 84
AudienceAudience: 6.8

During a turbulent winter in 1981 New York City, an immigrant business owner works to expand his heating-oil company while trying to preserve his principles. As violence, corruption, financial pressure, and threats against his employees close in, he and his family face increasingly difficult choices.

My take

You may enjoy this if you prefer restrained crime dramas, moral dilemmas, and gradual tension over constant action; Not for you if you want a fast, explosive thriller like Gangs of London.
