What can I say. This film is one of the best gangster films in my opinion. It has it all. I'm not gonna go into why, if you haven't seen this film, check it out yourself, I bet you will not be disappointed.

This film is the continuation of a whole series of films about organized crime. A young man from a poor family begins to serve the local mafia. Starting with the execution of small orders, punishing the enemies of mafia, he becomes the organizer of large schemes for selling alcohol and cigarettes. He becomes one of the leaders of local mafia group.In addition to the general romanticism inherent in all the feature films about the mafia, this project reveals the existing problems within the mafia society. The authors concentrate viewer's attention on the problem of loyalty and betrayal, price of friendship, role of women and goals of creating organized criminal groups. In addition, the film highlights the inevitability of tough struggles, clashes and reckoning for crimes. A deeper motive is the experience of the main characters. Despite the deep storyline, the film is easily perceived, has unobtrusive everyday colors and a cheerful composition.Summary: Definitely, the film deserves attention of the audience. Guys from the street who "climb the career ladder," living by their own laws - the Code of Honor, and, at the same time, have kind heart - always capture imagination and are an example for imitation. At a minimum, deep down.

Ranks up there with the Godfather trilogy. One of the greatest masterpieces in the genre of crime. Inspired the writing of The Sopranos (1999) as much detail and a total of 27 actors therein also featured in this epic mafia movie.

Trying to pass Ray Liotta off as a 21 year old was a joke.
