Very experimental, with inventive camera work that serves as a strong introduction to De Palma as both a filmmaker and a young man. Robert De Niro is, unsurprisingly, excellent. The film doesn’t shy away from the racial and capitalist tensions it portrays, which makes for an eventful almost messy third act. Still, it’s a good watch, offering a very different, nuanced approach from Brian De Palma.
