I've not seen it, but I'd like to. I'll just say that movies like this and Goodfella's are successful because the villains and the good "fellas" aren't easily distinguishable. Isn't real life like this though? How many people do you know that see themselves as the bad guy? Nobody. Kim Jung Un doesn't think he's a villain and the truth is, the guy probably has a lot of good characteristics too. People are complex and films that show that complexity are the most entertaining. I could see myself rooting for a villainous character if only because they seem more "real" at times than their one dimensional foes.
