A classic, deserves to be up with there with the greatest films ever

Rating: 10/10 (24 November 2001)

Mann's story, cares about characters first, which serves the action well, not the other way round, characters are as real as I've seen in movies, Pacino and De Niro serve the storyline in great fashion, so do the rest of the cast who are very impressive also.
This is the best crime/drama/action film ever made. Not since Bladerunner, has a film touched me on life in such a profound manner within the narrative, yes it has action and drama, but it has a message about peoples lives in modern society, Destiny/fate, spiritual elements, e.g De Niro's Neil: "I know whatever time we get is luck." I end up just about rooting for Neil, as I feel I know him so well, film does that greatly, top marks.
