Pretentious, boring, never ending commonplace of a movie with bad acting from the protagonists

Rating: 1/10 (6 December 2006)

I saw this film about 10 years ago, when it first open in the UK. I was not impressed. Few days ago I decided to see it again - it took me 4 days to finish it! It is so dull and unnecessary long. I was shocked to read how many people here consider it to be "the best ever film"! Are they nuts?! I think they have no idea what a really great film is about. Someone even thinks it to be "De Niro's best performance". I think it's one of both De Niro's and Pacino's worst performances. Pacino especially is over the top, whereas De Niro is doing his routine, nothing more. The film is full of clichés, constant close-ups like in some TV soap opera, the music is the cliché Hollywood-epic-computer-generated-nonstop noise. All in all - I wasted 6 hours of my life. Don't waste yours, don't watch this movie.
