An interesting take on organized crime channeled through the Russian mob. Though generally slower than your avergae mob movie, it feels comfortably paced, taking time to reflect on diasporic dynamics of Russian immigrants in America. Viggo Mortensen is a star in this role as well, absolutely deserved an Oscar.
