Outstanding! Cinematography, Screenplay, Casting and Music Score are all exemplary. This has a place alongside The Godfather and Gangs of New York in my library. The finest examples of it's genre.

Growing up with American dreams. No one knew what dreams were of true freedom or being anything you wanted to be. Still being poor, they sought out life as it was. From the streets up. The story line is about friendship, rising, woman, money and being different and one with a different value of life. Excellent.
