Deniro & Pacino....not a bad starting point huh? If you're looking for a good guy, bad guy movie, this movie is not for you. For the most part nearly all the characters in this movie are hard edged and dark. You like them anyway because everyone means well in their own way. This is a good solid movie and has a somewhat surprising ending. Very strong language and fairly violent. If this bothers you then stay away. I liked this movie a lot.
