This is the second time I watch this film. The first was during what one could call “less than optimal” conditions. Sometimes I had no sound, sometimes only background music and for one reason or the other the subtitles claimed that every line contained dairy references. Naturally I didn’t grow particularly fond of this Oscar winning flick, but I vowed to watch it again when I got hold of a proper DVD.

So I did. And let me tell you now: wow, was I wrong or what? This is one fucking fantastic gangster movie. The acting rabges from great to superb, the plot is intricate enough and the dialogue is just fun, fun, fun. I could without trouble quote nearly half this movie. I’d rate it as nearly as good as Scorseses’ “Goodfellas”, which, you know, is a compliment.

A goddamned huge one ;)
