I think I watched this once a very long time ago when I was young, but I didn't remember much. Now that The Irishman is coming up with De Niro and Paciono again, it made me look into this movie and rewatch at, now as an adult, very long after the first time, and it was almost like I was watching it for the first time.
This movie is so damn good. I can't remember the last time I saw a crime thriller this good, so I guess sthey just don't make them like this anymore, sadly...The writing, the characters, the directing, the acting, the action, the drama, the suspense, the music...It's all so good, I have to say this is probably one of the best movies in the genre that I've seen. A masterpiece. The 3 hours do not overstay their welcome. This one will most likely grip you. I grew attached to the villain, even though I knew I shouldn't. Do yourself a favour and watch this. For myself I think I'm gonna go ahead and buy it, actually. Movies rarely ever satisfy me like this anymore...
