    I think this is as close to a perfect movie as I have ever viewed. Mastery of their craft is reflected in every scene.

    Perhaps the finest Coen Bros film, at least arguably so, this movie has a superb cast performing at Academy levels, a terrific plot, a terrific subplot, fantastic cinematography, an incredible score - overall, a masterpiece.

    I was incredibly fortunate to work on this great film as a production assistant. 26 years later and those nine months still rank as the best job I ever had. There are still a couple of scenes not in the film tho, I wonder if they'll ever put out an unabridged version?

    I'm a Coen fan in any case, but this is one of the best gangster/mob movies ever… and what a cast! The soundtrack as well is fab. Some iconic scenes. A must view for anyone remotely interested in, well, films :))) And hats off to the two leads: Albert Finney and Gabriel Byrne… though Turturro almost steals the show.

    I have viewed this film at least a dozen times and never grow tired of it. To date my favorite Coen Brothers' film. The musical score is beautiful, the acting top notch, the story well told. Definitely a keeper.

    Gabriel Byrne & Albert Finny are the only real reasons to watch this film. The story goes into the surreal and you have to read between the lines a lot.

  • Finally - Greatest Gangster Movie Ever on iTunes!

    Finally, iTunes has published the greatest Gangster movie ever. Some might disagree with this description but this movie is smart and funny and engaging. This is understandable since it is a Coen Brothers' Movie. It can only be fully appreciated with multiple viewings because the plot twists are too many to describe. What a great movie!

    This is an often forgotten film by the Coen brothers which is a darn shame considering how good it is. I get that it is hard to understand, but that does not mean it is boring. If you love gangster movies, then watch it and you will not be disappointed.

    Finally! Thank you iTunes for "looking into you heart" and delivering this must own movie. Marcia Gay Harden was a total bombshell in her youth.
