    It's too long, but Denzel proves once again that when he's good, he's good, but when he's bad, he's spectacular. Both he and Crowe do an excellent job carrying their respective halves of the story. The movie's just in need of a bit more editing....

    A reasonably good crime drama with stellar acting talent. No big twists or turns, but enjoyable throughout.

    A gangster movie, basically by the numbers. Given the crew I was expecting more from this one, although solid work all around it fails to captivate.

    A great film with great actors and well directed. I watched the extended edition and it flew by for me despite being close to 3 hours long. It's not as violent or graphic as the likes of Casino, Goodfellas but it is as equally as immersing as those gangster films. The fact it is based on a true story makes it even more interesting. If you like gangster or mafia films you'll love this!
