A Most Violent Year

— This is a solid film (DVD), even when compared to Chandor’s earlier and acclaimed “Margin Call” and “All Is Lost”. About midway through I realized I was watching a film that builds and evolves, revealing a complicated plot and letting characters develop over time. This is something unusual—and pleasant—in an era where films tend to be fast, loud, bright, and jumpy without many soft edges.
