every frame counts.

Rating: 10/10 (13 February 2001)

A masterpiece, both visually and dramatically.
The story itself has been done countless times.
It is the fine detail, and development of even minor characters that makes this film reach much greater depths.
As with the "Wild bunch", characters are created and developed that one can feel, rather than just observe.
I wonder if the film would have worked just as well if De Niro and Pacino were in the opposite roles?
