Sergio Leone's worst movie.

Rating: Null/10 (5 December 2002)

Once Upon a Time in America never should have been made. If you're a fan of Sergio Leone's movies, see his westerns instead. At least those movies were original. Here, we have an all-star cast who all act like a bunch of stereotypical psychopathic gangsters who hate women and murder for a living. This movie was in the Top #200 on imdb? Give me a break!

The worst part of the movie was the part about the baby switch and Danny Aiello's perfomance was downright abymsal. One minute he's telling his wife and daughters he loves them, then the next, he screams at his poor family about how his baby son is going to be the 'other boss of the house'. This movie must've been underwritten by Stereotypes Incoporated. Plus the over the top acting, cheesy dialogue, and the dismal soundtrack and just about everything else about Once Upon a Time in America are all the ingredients for a poorly done gangster movie.
Oh, and we were also left in the dark about James Wood's character getting his face burned. Whatever happened there? Watch The Godfather trilogy if you want to see some good gangster movies. RUN! Don't walk about from the garbage! And keep right on running!
