I own the DVD and it is one of my favorite gangster movies. There were some other things I wish they would have included in the movie though. Lefty [Pacino] owned a social club which was not mentioned at all in the movie. Also at the end we are made to believe that Lefty gets whacked. That is not the case. Lefty was nabbed by the FBI and they offered him to enter the Witness Protection program in exchange for his testimony. He declined and was tried, convicted, and sentenced to 20 years. Lefty was paroled in 1992 after serving 13 years. He died of cancer on Thanksgiving Day 1995. I rate the movie an 8 out of 10.
Yep! That was the major misleading thing in the movie. But you gotta give Lefty props, he was a stand up guy all the way to the end.
