eighty upon a time

Rating: 1/10 (16 June 2007)

I would rather have listened to the soundtrack only. Though rich in atmosphere, the movie was far too slow for my taste. I would have preferred a watered-down ten minute version which would have the same plot. It moved as slowly as Tom Hanks in "You've Got Mail" and "Castaway." I was disappointed that Joe Pesci was in the movie for a total of two minutes (possibly). Maybe he left to go start filming "Casino." I liked "Casino," the first few "Godfathers," a "Bronx Tale," etc., but I did not like this movie...at all. I don't even see why that rape scene with Deborah was necessary- seriously-why? And why did Maxie do that to Noodles?
