To the 80s what "The Godfather" was to the 70s and "Goodfellas" to the 90s, Sergio Leone's 4-hour director's cut of this Jewish gangster epic towers over other crime dramas with its grandeur scope and aesthetic significance.

One of Sergio Leone's forays outside of the world of Westerns results in a haunting and sprawling portrait of innocence lost, set in the world of early 1900's gangland. The film is engaging throughout, despite being nearly four hours long, anchored by another great performance from Robert De Niro.

Operatic and rich in period detail, Sergio Leone's farewell to the world of cinema could not possibly have been more grand and poignant.

Long and haunting film. What an experience. WAY better than The Godfather. If they are even comparable. Morricone's score is absolutely one of the best scores I've heard. MASTERPIECE.

The OUAT series are Leone's vision about different momments in some countries history. In this case, America. Again, as the dollar's trilogy and the previous OUAT movies, this one is an unforgeatable masterpiece, that Leone had to cut (saddly). Own very unique aesthetic director's concepts and marvelous acting by the whole cast makes this movie a great piece of filmmaking.

Kind of long. I was expecting something more like the Godfather...what a let down.
