I don't like gangsters movies, generally but... This is an outstanding Mamet's and De Palma's work ! Quite a perfect movie: great cast (my favourite actors here are Sir Sean Connery -his scene on the bridge where Malone meets Agent Nell!- first of all, followed by Bob De Niro -Capone at the barbershop!- both in excellent performances) and the cinematography too. This kind of criminal masterpiece is going to disappear on today's screens, unfortunately !

The worst film of F. F. Coppola I have seen in years ! Too many useless details; too many inappropriate laughs by everyone in wrong moments; very often it looks like a musical (without the music needed) in various film shootings. To end: A wasted cast of usually good professionals. That said, the poor Mr. Tucker (in Coppola's version) seems "a fool on the hill" more than a visionary inventor. Really sorry but Mr. Coppola did not get the "soul" of the Genius in the real Mr.Tucker, at all!

I could give a "4" or a "5" but I'm uncertain...Good Washington as usual and Oldman too. A waste of McDowell, Gambon, de la Tour, Beals... Kunis is getting better and better. Excellent cinematography. But a sense of "dejà vu" all the time, and a lack of sense of humour !

Three stars just because of the Beauties Parillaud and Godrèche: The main reason of my rating, instead of "0" ! And then three stars also to Director Wallace that allowed Byrne-Malkowich-Irons-Depardieu to spend a nice and funny holiday in France, not to mention the "double Leo", the most ludicrous of them all (multiplied for 2 actually). That said, nice cinematography and stage costumes. Better let French deal with Alexandre Dumas...

I like J. Statham: He's really "simpatico" to me but here he's too much "stathamish" ! And JLo has nothing to do with her character Leslie (that is not a "latino" name too). Nolte: Better to retire. The bad guys are ludicrous. A casting disaster and the direction too. Furthermore both plot and its end are more than predictable. But it's D. W.'s fault: I'm sorry about that because I've always loved his novels. It passed my time, anyway.

Ludicrous enough to regret it's a movie, and therefore is "performed" on the screens: Better just listen to the amazing music scores! Above all is better Mr. Garret gets back to the theatres' stages to play his violins...

Banal and predictable movie, betraying the novel in many ways. Everybody miscasted. Seigner is a Beauty with just one expression, also while "flying". Depp seems to be interested more in his CV (acting with RP) than in the production itself. Langella and Olin look as grotesque caricatures of their characters. The "Evil Reunion" at the castle is laughable... In short, Polanski at his worst (think of "Rosemary's Baby" instead !). Not to mention "the end" !!!

Perfectly done but almost cold and not involving in victim cases. Good performances and cinematography but does not seem a Ozon's work: no atmosfere at all.
