Once Upon a Time in America
Directed by Sergio Leone
- Brian CooperMay 2, 2026Whew!! Holy boredom, Batman! This was an unenjoyable viewing. This movie just never clicked for me. I had the same experience with “Once Upon A Time In The West”. Each film featured very good actors, but that didn’t help. What’s interesting is both were directed by Sergio Leone. I am surprised because Leone collaborated with Clint Eastwood in a trilogy of westerns culminating in their masterpiece, “The Good, The Bad & The Ugly” and I never get tired of them. I can’t say the same for Mr. Leone’s “Once Upon A Time” duo, they’re both a snore-fest! 🥱💤😴🛌
