Ted Demme has martin Scorsese tied up in a closet.

Rating: Null/10 (17 May 2001)

This is the best film that Martin Scorsese never made. This is a fine film. Johnny Depp is excellent as usual, I particularly enjoyed his victory dance at the airport. The story is interesting. The thing is, Ted Demme stole Martin Scorsese's technique. It's not just the the presence of Ray Liotta, or the man falls from grace due to greed true story; it's his style. Everything about this movie feels like Marty. The way the voiceover is used, the use of songs, the camerawork, everything. It's a fine film, but wholly unoriginal stylistically.
