Underrated is an understatement

This movie should be rated #2 on the all-time best movie list right under The Godfather. Ed Harris plays his character's chilling lack of emotion and sentimentality so well it'll freeze your dvd player. Gary Oldman is endearing even when he's pummeling some poor sod with a beer mug and his alcoholic fog may be a little too believable. You can see why this movie gave birth to Sean Penn and Robin Wright's on-again/off-again relationship, they are phenomenal. You can actually feel Penn struggle with who he was and who he becomes. The supporting cast -John C. Reilly, Burgess Meredith, John Tururro- could be the marquee lineup of any other film and Meredith's poor, lonely, old man will tear your heart out in the ten minutes he's on screen.

This film is a must-own.

One Of The Greatest Ganster Movies Ever

Gary Oldman is absolutely brilliant in this movie. His best ever perfomance as far as I'm concerned. Sean Penn is also remarkable. The rest of the cast, including Ed Harris and Sean Wright-Penn are great too. I've seen this movie many times and if I ever see that it's on the TV, I always end up watching it again. I don't understand why this movie isn't talked about a lot more. For me, it's way up there with "Goodfellas".

Great film

I have never understood why this film did not get better billing considering the outstanding job the director and strong cast do in telling a rather predictable tale of betrayal and revenge. I have seen it a number of times and have never tired of it. Harris is simply superb as the cold, menacing boss of the gang. The best scene is when he literally spits venom in one scene towards the end of the film. Garry Oldman, gives his best performances since "Sid & Nancy", while Sean Penn also gives one of his most credible, but not best, performances. Thats only because Penn's audience has come to expect such high standards of him however. I thought the actors playing the other mobsters were also very good, especially Harris's thick necked enforcer. Robin Wright gives a performance that generates genuine empathy for her tragic character, who caught in the middle of this drama. There are a number of surprise performances as well. All in all, a great film, with brilliant directing and cinematography that is long over-due on the DVD format. Highly recommended.
