Reviews For The Big Squeeze
Cirni hauls out all of his shiniest toys for this gangland adventure.
For those who prefer the hardboiled genre, The Big Squeeze is a sleek, shapely model with a deep stain of irony.
Cirni does grainy dialogue, fast, funny and he doesn't get cute.
Fast-paced, streetwise, and sharp as a garrote.
Cleverly and wittily drawn.
