One of the Best movies I have ever seen

Rating: 9/10 (11 June 2006)

That is really the only way I can put it. Robert De Niro gives one of his best performances if not his best, and Al Pacino isn't half bad either. He's actually very good. The plot is intricate and not a bunch of random scenes put together, which I see a lot of in action films, and the idea doesn't seem too far-fetched. This movie basically has everything that a good movie needs: Great Action, including the best shootout ever to hit the screen, great emotion, and it is very moving. You get to know both sides of the law so well that you know you are going to be upset at the end. I was upset, but I thought it was great. I knew that either De Niro or Pacino was gonna lose, but I didn't know which one it would be. The emotions in this film are very realistic and the relationships the characters have with each other do not seemed forced and add to the plot in the most amazing ways. I do not wish to say a lot, because I don't want to spoil any of it for those who haven't seen it, but I will end it by saying that the acting is great, the action is great, the character development is great, and overall is this a superb film that should not be missed.
