The Best Gangster movie ever.

Rating: 10/10 (20 April 2006)

This is a fantastic movie. In my personal opinion this is the best Gangster movie ever. The Godfather trilogy are still excellent movies but they don't make me feel the way this does. A Davd and Goliath battle between a handful of men and the Daddy of all Gangsters - tax evasion has never been so entertaining! The acting is good too. No seriously the acting really is very, very good Sean Connery as always gives brilliant performance, though Costner is on top form and plays his part engagingly and you feel great compassion for all the men involved. Even De Niro is the villain you love to hate though his screen time is limited, you just can't wait for them to bring Al Capone down by the time you reach the last gripping 30 mins. It's also got that famous train station scene which oozes tension like no other film. Despite the Godfather's delicious 'it's good to be bad' approach this experience has you craving for justice to be done - no other film makes you feel this way. This was such a tremendously entertaining film it became one of my favourite films of all time and you really should take the time to see it.
