Beautiful to watch, the copacabana scene is a work of art from the creators side and the story is intriguing enough. But for me it’s all about the visuals, gorgeous shots and thought out colorschemes.

It's Marty's most visceral movie, and a genuine challenger to The Godfather for the title of greatest Mafia flick ever made. Hell, we dare you to find fault with this film.
