Complex and Gripping. The Definitive Gangster Movie

Rating: 10/10 (19 November 2000)

This is an exceptional movie. The progression throughout the lives of these people makes for a compelling, well-written movie. The acting and direction are fantastic.
Most people consider "The Godfather" to be a definitive gangster movie, but I liked this more. It was a more interesting story and considerably more violent.
If you look for this movie, ensure that you get the long version. The American version cut out several minutes and ordered the story in chronological order. The long version requires more from the audience to track what is going on, but makes for a more interesting movie.
Why isn't this out on DVD!?!
