A powerful classic

Rating: 10/10 (7 April 2008)

First off, this is my personal favourite film of all time. It is recognized as one of the police crime films of all time but at the time of its release it was unbelievably overlooked. it should have won plenty for Oscars - say four, and one of the actors should have received the award for best actor be it Pacino or DeNiro.
The level of acting is almost far superior to any other film i have seen as all the cast give stellar performances. DeNiro, Pacino and Kilmer play the main characters in an absorbing fashion while there is great support form the likes of Jon Voight, Tom Sizemore and a small role for Bill Fitchner.
This film should rank up there with LA Confidential and other great Cop films like Cop Land as one of the best.
a great film 10/10.
