A wannabe Scorsese

Rating: 5/10 (1 March 2014)

it's a classic example of a movie pretending to be good when its actually mediocre The plot is childish and full of holes, characters are half baked and I didn't feel any chemistry between any one of them. This was as if they were trying to make a cult film (they had all the elements in place) but they had no idea how over simplified and dumb the plot was -- how could they have missed the only thing that could have been original in the film (which otherwise is a cut and paste Scorsese with a little help from Tarantino) is beyond me but they did. It was a colossal waste of acting talent -- they had Christian Bale (one of the best actors currently) and they had Jennifer Lawrence and they had Louis C.K. and they made THIS?
