Palma's best movie, no doubt's there!

Rating: 9/10 (25 November 2001)

This movie excels as a rich period drama, a moving tale of good vs. evil and a showcase of the highest points from now relatively decayed artists (Costner, Garcia, DePalma and Smith are now in a career bottom). The score by Ennio Morricone is an asset of the movie, the script by David Mamet is a modern classic, and the violence has the poethic intensity of the "Godfather" movies and "Once Upon a Time in America" - I even think this movie could be placed right next to them in any gangster movie collection. Great ride, and well worth the effort. Congratulations to everyone, I really love it!
