Great Movie

One of my favorite gangster movies. The acting is realistic and the story line follows smoothly. I especially liked the narration provided by Jack Warden's character.

I was impressed with the number of well known actors included in this cast. Everyone contributed!

I highly recommend this movie! Boat Drinks!
