Wonderful

Rating: 9/10 (24 August 2010)

This is Scorsese's underrated masterpiece. Party because it follows the better Goodfellas with the same actors playing similar characters and partly because of the subject matter. I read this book and the movie is pretty close. It's a good story - of course the real Ace wasn't the stud De Niro is but that's how movies go.
I'm no Sharon Stone fan but she was good - can't help but feel after seeing her so many times this wasn't too far of a stretch for her. Oscar-worthy? I sure don't see it.
Overall, great movie, I hope Scorsese can revisit this subject matter at least one more time in his career.
