Definitely one of the top 10 films of all time

Rating: 10/10 (20 September 2003)

******Note..SPOILERS******
I'm surprised by some of the negative comments about this movie. There was one guy who said De Niro's character was a mass murderer, but yet he only killed 2 people in the whole movie, both for good reasons---Van Zant because he tried to kill Neil, and Wangrove because he killed a police officer. And I think some people didn't understand the ending...the symbolism of Neil & Vincent holding hands was that Vincent understood Neil and his obsession, knowing he had an obsession himself("All I have is what I'm going after."). I thought the ending was spectacular...this movie went against the typical "get-the-girl-in-the-end" ending. Like the tagline says, "a epic tale of crime & obsession." Neil & Vincent were both obsessed with there own "job," so much so that they both were willing to kill the other one if it came down to it. Another reason this movie was so good was the character development. It was the type of movie where both characters were developed so well that you don't know who to root for. And the production & music of the movie were also excellent. The music was perfect for the movie. And I personally did not think it was too long...in fact, I didn't realize until after that it had been so long...the movie kept me in suspense the whole time.
All in all, definitely one of the top 10 movies of all time, yet surprisingly underrated given the cast.
