This movie is 10 minutes long. If you've ended up on this IMDb-page without seeing it, give it it watch! The plot is simple, but supposedly based on a true story. You follow a butcher, who gets a threatening letter from some gangster. The gangsters wants money from it, and they kidnap his daughter.
The two highlights of this movie are: - The extortion letter is very nice! The lettering is almost like Ralph Steadmans illustrations, making the letter seem very iconic. - The shots done on the streets of New York. I'm not from the US, and have never been to New York, but I still really liked the couple of scenes sets in the streets of NY. They're not that good story wise, as they are slow and don't really movie the story along much.
Some of the action sequences are a bit fun, but over all the plot is too simple to become that thrilling. Still, it's a gangster film (famously the first one ever made), so if you are into those kind of movies, you'll most likely find this interesting (if nothing more).
