An absorbing story is spun, filled with violence, great music, fascinating voice-over narratives and excellent performances from all three leads. It's not really driven by any sort of plot but more of a snapshot of these criminal's lives over the years and their many troubled interactions with each other. It's your standard Martin Scorsese film but a damn fine one at that. I think Marty realized that and hasn't returned to this style of film-making until Boardwalk Empire nearly 20 years later.

It's been quite a while since I watched it but I still love it.
His working relationship with Bob produced some timeless films. Was this their last film together? I lost interest in his output when he replaced him with Leo.
