Once upon a time in America is an epic crime drama movie directed by Late Sergio Leone and stars Robert De Niro, James Woods, Elizabeth McGovern, Joe Pesci, Burt Young, Tuesday Weld, James Hayden, William Forsythe and Treat Williams with Larry Rapp.
This movie must be termed as another Gem by the great Leone and in this movie he depicts the from early to middle of 20th Century pure perfectly be it the vehicles, dressing style or buildings the changes has been depicted superbly.
The movie showcases the life of two friends, their friendship, their rise, fall, betrayal and greed for power. The characters are introduced very nicely by the director and since the movie is 3.49 hours long the director has ample time to showcase all the details and trust me neither the movie nor the direction or the screenplay will disappoint you.
Acting is superb and once again Robert De Niro steals the show in the character of Noodles, he is a talented actor and a seasoned director like Leone has just adored the talent. James Woods has also been quite effective, rest of the cast were equally impressive.
Screenplay of the movie is slow but effective and will not loose the grip from the movie, most of the scenes are so beautifully shot that it looks realistic. Climax of the movie is strong. Another strong aspect of the Leone's movie is it's music and the music in this movie is quite amazing.
This was the final movie directed by the great Sergio Leone and we can witness the greatness of his work till the last movie he directed. The great Leone is now not between us but he will always be immortal with his stupendous work. My tribute to him.
