Alright, not great

Rating: Null/10 (12 January 2003)

As a longtime Vegas resident I couldn't get maximum enjoyment out of this film because it was so over-the-top. No problem with any of the actors, Pesci, Stone, and DeNiro were solid as they always are, but Scorcese over-dramatizes things here. It's what I was afraid would happen. I agree with all previous comments that 45 minutes to an hour could have been left on the cutting room floor, occassionally it felt like I was watching the same scene two or three different times. Not one of the better organized crime flicks that I have seen. Six stars out of ten, based solely on the acting.
