Thoughts (beware of spoilers)<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

Give ’em Hell Malone <\/span><\/em>is full of hits and misses, but man, it swings for the fence every chance it gets.\u00a0 The film reminds me of a cross between Streets of Fire, Sin City<\/em> and every tough private eye film ever made.\u00a0 I mean that in the best way possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

Give ’em Hell Malone<\/em> opens in the middle of a protracted gun battle!\u00a0 <\/span>There’s a mystery about the contents of the suitcase Malone is hired to retrieve.\u00a0 Give ’em Hell Malone<\/em> is set in an undefined time period. It feels retro yet modern.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n
