Reviews
Positive Review - "Masterpiece"
"I can really recommend this movie to everyone, but especially to people who like the gangster genre. When you want to see the movie, you better be sure you will have the time for it. This isn't a movie that is finished after 90 minutes. You'll have to be able to stay focued during 3 hours and 47 minutes."
Negative Review - "Just Awful"
"I watched this terribly long, boring, slow, gory, silly film several times. It has nothing, but too much blood, sex, more blood, more sex, child molestering, child death and more blood."
General Reception
Above, are two reviews i found on the IMDB site, one ofcourse as the title suggests being negative while the other being positive, the general reaction to this film, however was overall generaly very positive. A gritty and pleasing Crime/Thriller "Once Upon a Time in America" uses the genre conventions effectively to portray an environment of gangs, sex, murder and lawelessness.
