Save yourself the 3 hours and 20 minutes

Rating: 6/10 (29 December 2001)

Confusing, unfocused, repetitive, predictable and most of all interminable. Coppola here tries to meld two unconnected stories into one movie, largely because neither is interesting enough to stand on its own. Aside from a passable performance by DeNiro, the movie has nothing to commend it. It's astonishing that it rates among the IMDB top 5 while a really top notch movie like The Sting (1973) rates in the 70s.
