A crime drama set in New York City during the winter of 1981,
statistically one of the most violent years in the city's history, and centered
on the lives of an immigrant and his family trying to expand their business and
capitalize on opportunities as the rampant violence, decay, and corruption of
the day drag them in and threaten to destroy all they have built. Written by

A MOST VIOLENT YEAR is written and directed by J.C. Chandor
and produced by Neal Dodson and Anna Gerb. To me was a fantastic film; it was a
slow churning thriller moral tale that made you think. The idea that a man who wants
his business to stay honest no matter the odds or circumstances is a story we
need to hear in these days and times. Cinematically the film looks amazing and
builds the tension very well. Again pacing is very deliberate and slows you
down so in one scene to explode in the next. This is not the type of gangster
film you are used to so be prepared. So as for A MOST VIOLENT YEAR I give it
four stars as a very thought provoking and entertaining film.
