The movie in question has 3 great performances: James Gandolfini (as Cousin Marv; his final movie, RIP!), Noomi Rapace (as Nadia), and - particularly - Tom Hardy (as Bob Saginowski) whose character and role presentation is so different from the ones he is known of. The plot, however, in spite of some witty angles and giggling moments (well, the author is solid), is tardy and arid at times, especially seen through scenes with subordinate characters such as the Chechen mobsters and Eric Deeds. I can't say the story becomes boring, but as we do with crime drama here, the narration is too floating and commonplace, the characters do not change even in the course of dramatic events.
Thus, too static even to me, even if I don't find that a proper crime drama should be based on constant chases, shootings and explosions. But still worth watching due to the performances mentioned above.
