Still makes Goodfellas look like Mary Poppins

Rating: 10/10 (13 August 2001)

My God .. what a film. Forget every gangster movie u have ever seen . If you ever wanna see a movie that truly shows the nastiness of the Gangster life style this is it . It doesnt have the opera of the Godfather or the visuall dazzle of Goodfellas but what it does have is a truly no holds barred approach to its subject . The chainsaw sequence is the most nerve shredding scene i have witnessed in a gangster movie . And of course Mr. Pacino once again confirming my suspicions that he is the big screen's most intense actor , it is a testament to his skill that while Montana has hardly any redeeming qualities we are still rivited by him . This is a film for purists of gangster movies and u either like this movie or u have no taste .
