i just buy this on dvd the other day allthough i must admit i wasn not look for it a i want to buy ghost world but the shop do not have it ( damm you woolworths it a great movie now i be go to have to go to virgin in cardiff ) anyway i go across to w. h smith and even though they do not have it and they do have this gem on the shelf and so i buy this instead . i remember see this when i be a young kid and even though i do not totaly understand it at the time and i think it be so cool . it also could have be the first gangster film i ever saw . brian de palma be a master at suspense and say what you want about him for rip off other film maker and the pram down the stair at the train station be a nailbiter . the performance be also impecable too with sean conerey secne take and give him a much deserve oscar . a mention should also go to ennio moricone wonderful score and stephen h burum elegent cinematography make you believe you be in the 1930s . couple that with excelent pacing and you a well craft piece of entertainment . it may not have the same kind of depth that the godfather have and but to be fair it dosen not try to and everything it try to do it succeds ata faultles positive .
