4 stars (Very Good) Often overlooked when considering the modern gangster genre - a shame. The four-hour cut is a masterful, if devoutly old-fashioned (and sexist), epic: baroque, melodramatic, and deeply engaging once you surrender. ~fairbrother

2 stars (Good Try) Good in parts but there is far too much meandering in the storytelling. However the street scenes are remarkable & the music score, make-up (for the ageing), & wardrobe (particularly the crowd scenes) are excellent. The whole thing just needed a hurry up. ~Tubbs
