But it came out when I was the age of your older cousin who saw it, and so it had a similar impact on me as it did on you.<br /><br />As a crime fiction author, I read/watch a lot of the genre (plus write in it). I think what sets LW apart, and what makes me still want to watch it once a decade, is that it was gritty, and it was unapologetic. <br /><br />Great post, man.<br /><br />Frank Zafiro<br />http://frankzafiro.comFrank Zafirohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846847831614880053noreply@blogger.com
