Favors come at a price

Rating: 8/10 (24 November 2019)

A convincing saga on the threads that bound American gangsters, politics and unions in post-war U S of A. It's not as dramatic as say the godfather, but rather highlights the banality of it all as it builds tension. It's long. Over 3 hours but I never got bored. DeNiro, Pacino and Pesci all deliver. It takes a stab at some long standing Jimmy Hoffa and Kennedy conspiracy theories and pins them proudly. If you reckon the world's corrupt and It's kill or be killed out there, this won't dissuade you.
