It winds its way through a tricky, fact-based plot that's sometimes reminiscent of film noir. At the center is a bewitching femme fatale whose allegiances and motives are less than clear.

Madsen has acknowledged a strong debt to Pierre Melville's 1969 classic Army of Shadows. This one deserves a seat at the same table.

It's fast-paced, stylish and thrilling. But it also raises one tough question.

Madsen makes the most of his budget, and he keeps pulling his camera back for long, visually sumptuous overhead shots.
