one of the great gangster movies

Rating: 8/10 (9 December 1999)

Despite a few obvious flaws this is one of the great gangster movies beautifully directed by Sergio Leone and terrific performances by James Woods and Robert de Niro.I would like to know the secret of Elizabeth McGovern's eternal youth when thirty odd years had passed her by without a wrinkle and could someone explain the garbage cart scene at the end of the film which I have watched over and over again on video and still none the wiser. The uncut version is the only one to watch so sit back for three and a half hours and enjoy! Ennio Morricone's music sets the mood for a memorable film.
