Pointless, waste of talent

Rating: 1/10 (13 July 1999)

Having read most of the comments about this film, I'm shocked how anyone liked it. 3 hours of a half hearted attempt to remake Goodfellas. Lets get a bunch of very talented actors and normally good director and make a film for the sake of it.
This film is so pointless, it's predictable from the start and nothing really happens. It's all been seen before, oh and lets throw in some meaningless violence that'll make it look arty.
All the scene's are well acted and even well filmed, but to what end. The story goes no where. It's an obvious, boring, gangster story, that's been done a thousand times before.
The reason it's so disappointing is all the talent involved, surely they could have done something better than this.
