Great gangster film

Rating: 9/10 (17 December 1999)

Not being a massive fan of gangster moves (Godfather, etc) I watched this film expecting to turn if off half way through or sooner. Couldn't. As much as I tried I just couldn't turn away from seeing what happened to our handful of heros.
The story line was spot on right the way through, the emotions for each actor ran deep (hatred for the gangsters, sadness for Connery when he was m........) and the action was breathtaking. The railway station shootout has to be one of the most memorable scenes ever.
Acting was brilliant by all, direction was superb and the need to know how it ends keeps you gripped to the edge of your seat. I have watched it many times and am waiting to watch another xmas re-run on TV should it be on.
