Scorsese’s ambitious adaptation of David Grann’s 2017 non-fiction, investigative book spanning a six-year history from 1920 until 1926, of the same name, is a disturbing depiction of vile behavior hiding in plain sight, shrouded as it is by emotional affectation.

Scorsese has seemingly mellowed with age. His latest directorial effort is not a traditional gangster picture punctuated with sumptuous visceral violence but it definitely is a story about corrupt, violent, conscienceless men who don’t hesitate to go the distance for what they desire to achieve. It’s basically an intimate and detailed immersion in a horrific crime committed by predators.
