I agree with several other reviewers here who say that you probably need to be older to appreciate all that is going on in this fine movie. Having grown up thru the great years of Pacino and Walken and Arkin(who was not a lead usually but support as he is here), I truly enjoyed how each of these fine actors personality traits came thru in their characters without becoming cheesy sterotypes of themselves. Pacino was Pacino and Walken, well he's Walken! You get a fine dose of controlled crazyness from all 3. They were totally beleivable in thier roles as hitmen for the mob. Now that they are much older and ready for the rocking chairs, one last score has to be settled for the mob boss(the dude from Breaking Bad in the wheelchair and the bell who could talk!). This one last job will test their friendship and loyalty to the max. I wont say what it is because it's better to see everything for yourself. This movie is the kind of flick you can watch again and again over the years, share with similar older friends you grew up with and really appreciate. The funniest line in the movie(and there was a few) was when they opened the truck of the stolen car and foound a women naked and tied up. Pacino asks her how she got in there and she says "I am taking a vacation" and Walken says "what does that even mean?"! I am laughing now as I recall it. It shows the differences in the world and the gap between the younger and older generations and how we see and treat each other. It's a great moment. It was funny, nostalgic(no modern gadgets accept the car they stole including rotary phones were used) and drama and heartfelt drama about friendship and love. It was damn near perfect.
