Cme H. @ComoHQT 5d Perfect, down to the last minute detail See more Frans B @FransB Apr 18 Feels like it is not worthy of the hype? Might just be one big opium induced dream, huh? Very likely ... But well written, stellar cast all convincing in character, writing does seem lazy at times, even confusing. But a masterpiece nonetheless, if you say so See more shane O @Shanes_DVD_Shack Mar 29 What a disgusting film, horrible irredeemable characters doing awful things. I can’t think of a good word to say about this move. Glamorising this type of thing is repugnant. There is no take home from this move . I don’t care about the ambiguity of the ending. It is not poetic . Who cares what a bunch of malevolent monsters do to each other. Don’t wast your time with this. Don’t listen to the high ratings See more Max M. @Househuntermax Mar 24 Just an incredible story of brotherhood and betrayal. I can see why the shorter version bombed on release. You have to watch it in its full length glory. Peak filmmaking. See more Tom S. @MovieReviewMafia Mar 13 Every time I watch one of my favorite films, Once Upon a Time in America, I enjoy the peak of its storytelling, though it often confuses many viewers at the end. My breakdown: To me, Noodles is a man who is broken and shattered. His sinful choices throughout his life, many of which initially seemed like paths to escape his life through divine design, ultimately trap him through his lifestyle and poor decisions. Like many criminals, the lure of a risky, exciting life draws him in repeatedly until it destroys him. By the end of his story, Noodles is broken, trying to escape the consequences of his decisions and the taint of the evil deeds he's committed. It leaves him resorting to drugs, leaving him a shell of a man, as that was his only way to escape the reality of his life. Not the best "mob/mafia/gangster" films, but it is a classic, yet for a 4-hour movie, it may be a lot for many casual viewers See more M. K @RT75336364 Mar 9 Would have given it a higher grade if DeNiro altered his expression or tone of his voice just once. He's plays the same character in every movie. Slow moving in many scenes that added little to whatever plot was being attempted. See more Read all reviews
