An epic masterpiece of 90s film-making!

Rating: 10/10 (28 April 1999)

It took over 20 years to get Al Pacino and Robert de Niro in another film together, and they get to share screen time! Only 20 minutes or so, but still, that cafe scene is a classic. This movie is brilliant, every performance is fantastic, and although it goes for almost three hours, it just flies along!! You get totally enthralled. You sympathise with every main character's issues, and you don't know which side to go for! It has it all: classic one-liners, explosive action, plot twists, romance, suspenseful situations, the lot!!
One of the most underrated films of the 90s. In time it will stand as a classic portrayal of the law versus the criminals. Another great slice of good and evil.
