Too long and terrible ending.

Rating: 3/10 (19 January 2014)

The key to a movie where none of the characters is likable is to have either everyone become likable thru some transformation or death, or to have everyone of them lose at the end. (equal ending)
Examples include The Magnificent Seven (all become good of die) and Casino. (they all lose)
This movie one character wins everything and everyone else lose, and even when they try to make this character more likable by having him go legit, they give no real explanation as to why someone that has been a bad guy since childhood would just decide to go strait one day without any true modivation. He was still wining while still being a crook.
I just couldn't buy it.
And as EVERYONE else has already said, this movie was WAY too long.
Example the "live and let die" dance could have been removed along with several other sections that just didn't have to be in the movie.
I believe the trouble with movies that have this many stars, is the director and studio, always believe that all the stars need equal time on screen and that just doesn't work.
