Solid
Rating: 8 of 10 
Yet another mob film, but at least it's Johnny Depp playing in a good film, not his usual selection of disappointing wannabes. Somehow I feel Al Pacino is less devoted to this one, but that may just be the role he's playing. Everything's perfectly made and choreographed, not everything's over-explained, there's gentleness and bluntness together, but somehow, it drags a bit, doesn't quite reach the greatness of its predecessing mob stories. Nevertheless, it's good stuff, and pretty solid.
