It gets enough props

It just isnt a TIER ZERO mob film...it is Tier 1


Tier zero:
Goodfellas
Godfather 1+2
A Bronx Tale

Tier 1:
Casino
Donnie Brasco
Carlitos way

Tier 2:
American Gangster
The untouchables
Hoodlum


Not a mob movie and one of the most overrated films of all time:upsetfavre:

Pacino in this is what did it for me acting wise. Depp was good but Al was the one who held it together. Close to a classic but I like Bronx Tale a little better. GF 1, 2 and Goodfellas are the top three for me.

I swear people overrate 'Casino' massively. Its entertaining, but uninspiring and borderline generic. It adds nothing to the genre, and steals a lot from past films.

Casino is good. It's just a lil long. And the wife scenes feel like filler
Which isn't needed in a movie that long

Donnie Brasco is on the same level as Casino and A Bronx Tale, but not the same level as Goodfellas and Godfather 1,2.

While I agree A Bronx Tale isn't top their it is definitely a mob movie. It was more of a throw back to the classics and borrows a lot from Mean Streets and The Wanderers but added a little bit of its own flavor. There's a couple of great moments but I wouldn't say it's one of the genres defining films
