I didnt really understand the narrative of the film itself and it never really played upon any of my emotions, i understand there were several storylines but in my personal opinion none of which really came to anything and at some points left me confused and not understanding what is happening.
Although i had the issue with the narrative itself, i thought some of the cinematography and certain scenes were very effective. For example the use of silence after a scene of extreme action- there is a scene where the accountant is sorting money with mafia members and then the place is raided and the money is stolen, he himself is the only person who isnt killed and is even called "Lucky". After the gunfire, confrontation and desicion of whetver to kill him. There is absoloute silence and the camera goes from being close-up and showing his perspecitive to following him out of the building and becoming a long shot into an extreme long shot when bodies are revealed one after another. The sound gradually returns as he is walking towards teh traffic- this could be showing him returning to normal everyday life or prehaps the returning of his hearing after gun shots. Either way this is a powerful image shown.
