Really not anyone's finest work

Rating: 2/10 (28 August 2019)

I like the Sergio Leone spaghetti westerns and know that he tends to be a slow paced director. With that said, this was beyond painful. My attention started to drift around 20 minutes in. Next thing I know I'm doing laundry and not missing a whole lot of nothing. So at 1.25 I pulled the pulg.
So watch Goodfellas and The Godfather and you'll see the same movie as Once Upon a Time in America wants to be and you'll have spent approximately the same amount of time but you won't be bored to numbness. Side note, James Woods is a poor man's Robert Deniro and when cast against him or becomes so obvious.
