Very over rated

Rating: 6/10 (30 July 2009)

I think this film scored so high on the ratings due to the cast, makers and the yet another mob film.
Put simply this film is incredibly long and incredibly tedious.
As always cast are great, but you can only work with what you are given. Not even in the same league as good fellas, untouchables, godfather, Donnie bras co etc etc.
Not 100% sure on length but if i remember correctly it is in the region of 4 hours, and for a film to be of this length AND keep the audience interested takes a lot. The story could have been told in half the time.
I gave this film a rating of 10 as I believe it is far from justifiable to reward this film as highly as it has been.
