Review of Once Upon a Time in America (1984) by James B — 25 Jun 2010
Epic. You need to get comfy for this one. A slow paced but engrossing narrative where we follow the rise of a gangster from the early settings of 1920's up to the 1960's. A strong cast with a cracking performance from De Niro.
Leone has made a classic gangster movie here which is a must for anyone who is a fan of this genre. Maybe it hasn't quite stood the test of time, that is my only really problem with the film and I'm not sure about it's length, otherwise a must.
