Stanwick

I have seen this movie over a million times. Every time that I watch it, I try to find something wrong with it and I find myself unable to do so. This incredibly brilliantly directed film stands out from the rest. The camera shots as well as the music choices where very well chosen and executed. The acting, well, I would not necessarily call it acting because it seemed so natural that you forgot that they were even acting at all. I am amazed that every single actor pulled it off. The fact that it was based on a true story made it even better. I do not understand why the Academy did not give this film best picture. The language is a little harsh at times, but it is said in a way that fits the film. The violence is there but I did not find it as bad as the ending in Casino. The almost follow up to this film.

I am telling you right now; that this is one of the most fantastic films ever made. I remember seeing it on HBO just as other people did. I would have to say that this is the one film that I was truly inspired by. May be my views would change if I saw it again. I have not seen the movie in over ten years, and the problem is that I can't find it anywhere.

In my opinion, I wouldn't rate this as a great movie to go into and be laughing on the floor. This is done by the guy that did caddyshack, which is actually funny. This however is not. People that are fans of Deniro will enjoy this a little. Those who have seen Goodfellas and Casino might enjoy seeing some of the familiar cast. Billy Crystal was funny and enjoyable at the end but by that time I had already been checking my watch wondering when the film would be finally over.
