It's strange that Jack Nicholson and Scorsese have never worked together, since they seem like a natural fit; he makes Frank Costello not a godfather, not a rat, not a blowhard, but a smart man who finally encounters a situation no one could fight free of, because he simply lacks all the necessary information.

尼科森和西科塞斯从未合作让人不得其解--他们像为彼此而生。尼科森的卡斯特罗不是气度威仪的教父，不是卑鄙下作的小人，不是虚张声势的大话王，而是聪明绝顶，因不能手眼通天，终不能逃出生天。
