My Review:

I did not like this movie at first. It’s full of darkness. There’s murder, hatred, drug use, greed, abuse and more swearing than any movie made before it. Worst of all, it seems to glorify a
character who is self-seeking, manipulative, greedy and violent.

But, the last scene caught me.

The hero turns out to be an antihero when, shot down, he floats in a fountain filled with his own blood. Above him, his mockingly ironic personal motto – “The World is Yours.”

He grasped at everything and ended up with nothing – a good reminder for the Christian that it is only by giving up our life that we find it.
