The rise and fall of Jewish gangsters in New York, told across several decades.

Sinekatalog’s take

Leone's final film spans decades in the lives of New York gangsters, shifting between timelines. Long and melancholy, with Morricone's score and De Niro's regret at the centre. Best seen in the full-length cut.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
