A good gangster movie

Rating: 8/10 (17 January 2012)

This was a very fun movie to watch. I do not think it compares with the Godfather movies but I don't think this was intended to compete with them. If you see this movie for what it is, a story about a gangster mob, then it is really very good. It has great acting in it, the filming is fine, the music outstanding. There are several version of this movie out, I would recommend the directors cut. This movie also has one of my favorite stars in it, Elizabeth McGovern. I don't think she gets enough good roles because she is a wonderful actress. Overall this movie does a good job at telling the story of this gang. Its well acted, superbly directed, a very very good movie.
