Ratings and reviews

I personally found this tedious to watch, but it could just be me. It may be because the style of the film is paying homage to 1930's-ish (or 1940's) type movies, that can be challenging to sit through if you're not it the mood to go back to the depression era. Others may really like it, I can see why it gets good critical reviews and the acting is really good. It's one of the Coen Bros. earlier films I hadn't seen yet, so it's worth watching as a fan of their films in general.

If you like crime movies this is one of the best from start to finish lots of action great ending got to see it got to see it highly recommended always watch it

The single greatest mobster/gangster movie ever created. Without exception.
