Long, but interesting. Most of the scenes with DeNiro crackle, and Strasberg is fascinating to watch. Pacino is also very good. Years ago when I watched this movie, I believed it to be better then the first Godfather. Watching them both again, almost back to back, has solidified that opinion. Of course, it is not a perfect film, but it is a very good one. I have one criticism though. Why does some of the music sound as if it was lifted from an episode of Columbo?
