I mean, it's not a bad movie.
To me it's a just an intriguing gangsta movie with a striking performance by Al Pacino.
It's had a huge impact pop-culture wise and especially hip-hop wise. I think that's fooled people into thinkin' it's one of the best gangster epics ever made, worthy of being mentioned with the Goodfellas and Godfather's of cinema- but it's not.
It's above-average, but in terms of being in pantheon of greatest gangster movies made, on a good day it barely slips in, but most days, it's on the outside looking in.
And just a note set/costume design-wise, it's aged horribly.
