This is an epic, episodic tale of the lives of a small group of New York City Jewish gangsters spanning over 40 years. The movie centers on David 'Noodles' Aaronson (Robert De Niro) and his lifelong partners in crime, Max (James Woods), Cockeye (William Forsythe) and Patsy (James Hayden) and their friends, who all grew up in New York's Lower East Side in the 1920s-1930s. In the late 1960s, an eld... read more

You know, sometimes, before watching a classic, you build up some huge expectations but when you finally watch the damned thing, especially after waiting for so many years, the end-result can let you down a little bit. Well, it didn't happen with this movie, that's for sure. Indeed, I kept hearing about it for many years and, finally, I got my hands on it and I was mesmerized from the beginning un... read more

So far, I think this has been the longest film I've seen in my life, I had no idea that this movie had 4 versions and just saw the original version of 322 minutes. You do not know when it would end after two hours, I did not got bored seeing as it was in GoodFellas, is significantly better than De Niro's character in this one and the story best fits my personal tastes.

" For his first film in several years, director Sergio Leone conceived of a slow, elegiac study of gangster activity in New York. Set during three time periods, 1923, 1933 and 1968--Once Upon a Time in America concentrates primarily upon Robert DeNiro and James Woods, childhood friends who become powerful Jewish crime bosses. The American distributors of Once Upon a Time in America ruthlessly hacked and rearranged the film into an incoherent 143 minutes. Leone's "director's cut," running 2"

Kyle Ellis posted a review 2 years ago

“I have seen many movies, good and bad. One thing for certain, Once Upon a Time in America is more than good. It is amazing, a true milestone in the crime drama genre. The cinematography, images, scenery and locations are all superb and quite sweeping, while Ennio Morricone's score ranks up there with his very best. While the film clocks in at nearly four hours long, it never feels boring to me while the pace is quite elegiac everything else just compels you. I will admit, this is another film you need to see more than once to understand/appreciate it.

Sergio Leone's direction is also superb, the story is always compelling and rich and the dialogue is very thought-provoking. The characters are wonderful if different. Unlike The Godfather(not a bad thing by the way), Once Upon a Ti” read more
