Good but has too much profanity.

Rating: 8/10 (28 May 2018)

This is the movie that introduced me to Martin Scorsese and I was enthralled into it for 3 hours. I have seen a handful of his movies since then.
That said, I have to give it a 8 and not a 10 because it has too much profanity. According to this site's parents guide, there are 422 uses of the F word. At the time, that was the record holder, then Nil By Mouth broke it 2 years later. There does not need to be that many F words and the record has no need whatsoever to be broken!
If profanity of this length bothers you, AMC plays it without the language, but it has an hour of commercials added. Also, Roger Ebert gave it 4/4 stars and called it the 5th best movie of 1995.
I can totally understand this movie getting a 9 or 10, especially if seen on TV, but as it is, the language is overdone and bothersome after a couple hours.
In short, it is a good movie , but not for those offended to language.
