Once Upon a Time in America
Aroview: An all-star cast feature in Sergio Leone's violent but sobering gangland saga, following the rise and fall of four Jewish childhood pals between 1922 and 1968. Complete version here- an ideal wet afternoon entertainment.

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
