Although I am not too big a fan of Scorsese movies (I always thought he would be written with a <q>c<\/q>: Scorcese \u2013 but he isn\u2019t), I really enjoyed this one. I hope my feeling was caused by the movie and not by chilly temperature in Darmstadt\u2019s <em>Rex<\/em> cinema\u2026 If you are into variations of the Mafia theme or if you are just looking for some \u2013 tough \u2013 entertainment, then this movie is for you. For me it was good enough to be recommended to people that are not too much into the genre \u2013 as a thriller and action movie it was not as good as <em>The Fugitive<\/em>, but it was at least playing in the same league. Hmm, that is quite the honor.
