Yeah one of Connerys better roles. But the Costner character was a little weak IMHO... but still, as Vercetti said; a Classic.

"He hits you with the knife, you come back with the gun. If Capone sends one of your people to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. Thats the Chicago way!"

But I wouldnt compare it to Goodfellas, Scarface or The Godfather though, different kind of movie...
