This is my second time watching Mean Streets and boy oh boy I love this film.

Then at other times I wonder how he ever got a job acting in big time films.

I also love how the film makers allow us to see this character in the same way King and others did.

I suppose being based off a play this film just doesn't feel cinematic enough to cinephiles but I think Lumet adds some touched that gives it a bit of a magical feel.

You know you love a director when his last film is one that you watched 4 times in two years, gave a 4/5, and put in your top ten of the year, yet somehow you feel underwhelmed by it.

When I think about films as prayer this is the film that lines up with that verse.

Lots of great acting and some very emotional moments but they hit the nail straight on the head a couple too many times with some character moments.

Every big city feels like NY I suppose but I love the Gotham vibe I feel through the whole film.

The next scene in the film has been gone through frame by frame by so many people so many times that I feel silly bringing my opinion to it.

At just over 90 minutes there was time for more character moments.
