Movie Recommendation

It's rather cold here in the Midwest.  We are sitting around drinking and looking for a great movie to watch by the fire.  Well... I found one that is the best film I've seen in the past year.  It was featured at the Sundance Film Festival.   It features two American actors.   Shia LaBeuof, and Evan Rachel Wood as lead  and Mads Mikkelsen as supporting actor.  Mads Mikkelsen is a famous Danish actor that has been around a long time.  I've seen him the A Royal Affair, TV series Hannibal and Danish Film "The Hunt". His performance is as electrifying as Shia's.

It starts out in the United States where Shia LaBeouf has a vision of his mother moments after she dies in the hospital.  He is quite the lost soul and asks her what he is supposed to to with his life.  Her advice to go to the Romanian city of  Bucharest.  There he meets and is immediately mesmerized by the beautiful "Gabriella or Gabi" who is portrayed by Evan Rachel Wood. She really nails the Romanian accent.  The catch is she is married to a scary crime boss...Mads Mickelsen.  There are drugs, fights, an altercation in a Romanian strip club,  a love story and personal loss.  It really is nonstop from beginning to end.
