1920's style gangster flick.Review created: 13/07/06

They grew up in the violent immigrant ghetto of New York's Lower East Side: Max and Noodles, Cockeye and Patsy, Deborah and Fat Moe. They grew up on the streets and they grew up fast. Fighting their way to the top of the heap, they took a vow to stick together but that's not how things worked out. Leone's commanding epic traces the destinies of four men from childhood on the streets through their violent rise to power and maturity during Prohibition as fully fledged hoods. De Niro is magnificent as "Noodles" Aaronson, one of the four, forced by murder and betrayal to flee New York in 1933. When he is mysteriously summoned back in 1968, he discovers that the tragic and bloody events surrounding his betrayal are not as they once seemed...
'Once Upon A Time In America' is director Sergio Leone's astonishing gangster melodrama, an epic exploration of the dark side of the American dream. Ten years in the planning, Leone's film is the work of a master storyteller - grandly conceived, rich in detail and thrilling in the depth and originality of its vision.

This film in my opinion is a classic.
When Sergio Leone originally shot and edited this movie it came in at over 4 hours ! The studio wanted a 2 hour movie but after several heated discussions with Leone it was upped to nearly 3 hours.
Leone himself was not happy and up to his death he swore that the film was never seen as it should have been.
We will never see Leone's true vision of this film but the film as it is now would be damn hard to beat.
The backdrops are breathtaking,the characters deep and meaningful and of course it is directed to the usual excellent standard Leone adhered to.
Robert De Niro and James Woods give two stand out performances.
One not to be missed.

Wow, what a filmReview created: 07/07/09
by:
) After trying to watch this film on tv, and having an interupted signal and so missing most of the good bits, I decided to buy this film on dvd. I am so glad that I did as I like Robert De Niro in films like "Scarface" and the like, but this isn't a film about violence and the like, it is a story of how things were in that era. Because of the fact that the film is a story it does go on for 200 odd minutes of play, so it is a bit of a marathon film, so get LOADS of popcorn ready and sit back and enjoy. The story jumps between DeNiro's life as a boy and his life later on. I recommend watching the film and seeing what I mean as I do not want to spoil the film for you all.
Enjoy.
Enjoy.

THIS IS ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVOURITE FILMS, AND WHEN I LOOKED FOR IT ON EBAY IT WAS THERE WITH ONLY 8 MINUTES LEFT ON THE AUCTION SO I BID FOR IT, AND WON. WITH NO P&P TO PAY I EXPECTED TO WAIT AGES FOR IT TO ARRIVE BUT NO, IT CAME IN THE POST AT 8A.M THE FOLLOWING MORNING, UN-BELIEVABLE, LESS THAN 24 HRS AFTER I BROUGHT IT. THE VENDOR IS NOW ON MY FAVOURITE SELLERS LIST AND I WILL DEFINATELY BUY AGAIN FROM THEM.

Can you accept the truth?Review created: 22/06/08
by:
Ebay often asks buyers to review their purchases, but one thing I have noticed is that if I write a negative review they make sure it cannot be accessed either by me or by other potential buyers. So much for capitalist democracy. To quote the song, If you don't like my peaches, baby, don't shake my tree.

Absolute classicthis is a must see film, packed to the rafters with great actors and great moments, the story covers an entire lifetime of a groups of friends, from being cunning street urchins to their rise to power via the sleepeasys they owned and people they blackmailed. The loves and losses of the main characters is pivotal to the story. It has me gripped all the way through and the music is deeply haunting......my vhs copy is just snow from being watched so many times but a recently purchased DVD will put that right....kids, its time for bed....its Dads telly time now! Get a copy now and prepare to spend a long night enthralled by this story.
