What A Phenomenal Movie with A Stellar cast.....

Rating: 10/10 (25 July 2007)

Once Upon A Time In America is arguably the greatest gang movie ever. The Acting by De Niro & James Woods was spectacular, how the movie never academy award nominations i'll never know. Robert De Niro steals the show, i mean really, he's one of the greatest actors of all time. The Kids who acted in this were just as good as everybody else. The movie was great because it was about lies, love, & betrayal. The thing that made the movie great is when De Niro is having flashbacks throughout the whole movie.
The whole movie was great but i only had one problem with one scene, when Elizabeth McGovern tells De Niro she will leave for Hollywood, & of course he harassed her in the backseat but the whole movie was great. Especially the ending with James Woods when he goes in to the truck, the he went through that slicer because he was upset that all the pain he cause De Niro over 35 years, so he figured why have De Niro kill him & he said " no." That was a great set-up, making u think James Woods was dead when the body's face was burned off. This movie should have been nominated for many academy awards & win Best Picture, a phenomenal plan & simple.
