Very very very very long

Rating: 10/10 (2 March 2008)

One hell of an epic film tracking Robert De Niro through a long amount of years. Bob again puts out a wonderful performance and the rest of the ensemble cast perform well in this epic film. Forget Ben Hur, forget Dr Zhivago this movie is huge in scale and isn't really in one genre. Art-house? Gangster? Drama? Romance? It falls into many categories and we can never really decide which one fits it perfectly. Oh well, Mr Leone in his last film goes out with a quiet bang but I don't mean its not good. It's brilliant. But this is a very quiet flick. Ending with the cryptic smile we never know what De Niro's smiling about. It's an enticing mystery.
8/10
