Not bad, but not as good as I remembered it. It got too sentimental for me towards the end. Connery was excellent in a role that he must be able to play with his eyes closed.

This movie is saturated with stupidity. The tone is set with cartoony action, cheap set pieces and dorky characters and continues through the score (laughably out of sync), audio (several lines are repeated with post dubbing for no reason), and camerawork (ridiculous zooms and reaction shots). Everything aside from the staircase scene felt like a kid's movie.

This will only be remembered for two scenes. The staircase scene and the assasination of Jim Malone. ... It's just too bad De Palma can't put this kind drama in every aspect of his movies. It's like he always has a really nice package, but not the actual gift.

Hollywood standard gangster fluff by Brian De Palma. There's a few decent scenes here and there but it seems to me that this entire film was made with an all star cast so they could chew scenery. The writing is weak for this and not surprisingly David Mamet was responsible for a large part of the script. It's a decent film if you like mediocre gangster films. Al Pacino and Sean Connery are both pretty entertaining to watch in this.

i was expecting so much more...

Some great sequences, but too gimmicky and lacking in heart to be a good film.

Entertaining, but annoying soundtrack, and just not as appealing as other movies like it.

The movie is very well made, but one thing that I just love about this is the opening. Sometimes I just put this pic on and watch just the oppening with Ennio Morricone's tune. Amazing!
