    This is an amazing action man style look at a serious story. It rocks, almost like young guns in the 30's USA but with alot of heart and top rate acting.

    Hated the Godfather films. This is the best. Great cast, great dialogue, you mess with him, you put him in the morgue,etc. Love it.

    Brian DePalma can't direct!?! Kevein Costener can't act!?! Let me set the record straight Communist manifesto.

I'd like to see you act, or would fail be a more appopriate word?

    I don't care what everyone says about the Godfather, this is the best gangster movie ever made. It's great fun with a gripping story and ubforgettable characters. Few movies capture hollywood magic like this one does.
