Atmospheric, Beyond the normal gangster film

anubus70

I've seen this film 5 times and every time I get immersed in the atmosphere of the era, the brilliant lighting, great acting by all the actors, photographic editing - everything, really. In my top 10 best gangster films of all time. Classy on all counts, and the piano solo tears my heart out every time. Truly an adult film in all aspects. Along with The Usual Suspects, The Professional, Godfather(s), Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, Goodfellas, Snatch, Millers Crossing, La Femme Nakita, Once Upon A Time In America, Oceans Eleven and another few I can't remember right now - Take it to the desert island with you when you get marooned. This film better be in the top 250 or I'm outta here.

score 10/10
