4 stars (Very Good) Pure movie-cheese, but what cheese: David Mamet's dialogue is a treat to the ear, the cast are clearly having fun, and De Palma brings heady style to every shot. Rousing Morricone score, slick production design, and a classic climactic shoot-out. ~fairbrother

2 stars (Good Try) Excellent production values but there is little else once Connery departs. ~Tubbs

2 stars (Good Try) Overrated gangster movie with a bland lead, disappointing villain performance from De Niro, a too-80s style for a period piece and an unusually lacklustre Morricone score. I usually love De Palma but not this time. Mamet's script sucks. ~Pearce
