One of the strangest modern films I've ever seen. The entire narrative and characters just didn't make much sense to me at all - their motivations and actions just seemed entirely random. Examples (spoilers):
A guy dumps something in a bin then sits in a car all night on the off chance someone checks the bin?
someone (with apparently little money) is happy to pay £10k to the most random threat rather than just contact the police?
the historic death related to a debt wasn't coherent to me either. Someone repaid a debt but was murdered anyway?
the way the contents of the black bin bag were dealt with?
I was so out of tune with everything I was watching I felt I'd been smoking something!
An unusual case where writer Dennis Lehane wrote the novel after the film. I don't know any other time something like that has been done. Not counting novelizations.

drug dealing and such i think... bad guy stuff...
But yeah, solid movie. Works as a thriller, has intimacy without being sentimental and is entertaining.
