Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

A Most Violent Year (2014)

Well-done story of a man who wants to play it straight in a business riddled with dishonesty and thugs. Not only does he have to fight against the perception of law enforcement and the pressure from the other companies who want him to play ball -- he's also got to contend with his wife who doesn't understand the point of doing things completely above board.

Gary and I had walked up to the neighborhood theater to see this and we had a great discussion about it on the way home.  Very good film.

B+
