Mildly amusing with a couple classic sequences

Rating: 7/10 (5 February 2020)

Not as good as most classic mob films. Mostly just mildly amusing aside from a couple really killer action sequences towards the end. Costner's acting is wooden as an oak log. I have no idea how he was an A-list star. Garcia, Connery, and Deniro add a bit more charisma to the flick, but it's still not enough to really allow this to be a great film. Even Morricone's score feels recycled and less inspired than most of his works, but it's still nice to have his flair in there - it still adds to the movie quite a bit. What it really all comes down to though is when one guy takes about 30 bullets from a tommy gun all the way up his torso, and somehow he's still alive for what seems like a good 10-20 minutes...movie magic I guess?
