That final Lefty scene

Rating: Null/10 (26 November 1998)

The movie is touching for the realistic view it portrays of life in the mob, but I think the most touching part is when Pacino´s character, Lefty, is called by his bosses in his last appearance in the film. He knows it´s time to get off the bus, we know his fate, however, we didn´t know how sure he was of his departure and how truly resigned he was.
Seeing Pacino remove his neck chain, his watch, and his wallet after kissing his helpless and unsuspicious wife is a refreshing reminder that challenging plots and admirable performance are still alive. Well, it´s Pacino after all.
Depp also did an excellent job. The rigidity of his facial gestures all along the movie, especially upon realizing the boss likes him during the boat ride, is remarkable.
