There are many movies that chronicle cities in the midst of violent outbursts (Nightcrawler comes to mind) and there are also movies that chronicle men struggling with whether to engage in activities that might compromise with their morality. However, I can’t recall another film that so confidently blends the two as A Most Violent Year does. A movie that feels both in and of its time as well as a complete throwback, choosing the path that is most right means that you will make sure to seek out A Most Violent Year, a wonderfully tense and engaging film.
