But leaving him aside, is Johnny Depp a human camelion or what? He looks entirely different in every single movie as far as I am concerned. He and Benedict don't really look like brothers at all, but neither do my dad and his brother so I'll let that one go. As for Benedict I feel like they tried so hard to make him look ugly with the cheek implants(Yes. Apparently. Not sure how), but sorry - you still failed, along with the women of the film he was still the most beautiful person there and I liked his character too. He was a nice contrast to all the criminals, a politician with a normal-ish family life and 9 children. Sure, he was also involved, he was loyal to his brother who was pretty much the king of the criminal world, but there was still this nice contrast with him somehow. Also (spoiler ahead) I'm so glad he survived! I was so scared he'd be shot at one point or another.
This is the sort of film that keeps you on the edge of your seat constantly. Everyone could die, at any point, when you know to expect it and when you won't expect it at all. And yet, somehow, incredibly, both of my favorite characters survived. My nerves are quite fragile and I jump at every gunshot that is unexpected or expected, but it was still a nice thrilling plot. I like the feeling.
It might be a bit unethical to say think about a movie that is based on real life events (and by the way I really like that about films like that. It's the only way they are worth a watch). but I find the criminal world really interesting, their honour code, their interactions, their twisted moral and logic. It's complicated, fascinating, it's what makes the movie so thrilling and compelling. It even....oddly makes you(me) feel for some of the character. Even if they really were as awful as they were.
