Marital Dysfunction Aside

Rating: 7/10 (20 May 2013)

Fascinating at times, but overlong, the Director, once again, feels completely at home in this environment of Mobdom. The usual suspects are here and this pulsating, rhythmic, rocking Movie is nothing if not indulging. In fact, this great looking Movie goes so overboard in the third act with its Marital dysfunction, that it almost collapses like one of those Casino demolitions.
With its non-stop narration and relentless Music Soundtrack things move fast and frantic and sometimes looks so disorienting and bizarre that one might feel that the mind-altered mind of Hunter Thompson is behind the Camera. In the aforementioned conclusion things become more verbally kinetic than visual and it seems like the High is about to wear off. It does.
So not without some shortcomings, this can be quite a ride if you are ready for it. So place your bets and hold your breath, and enter this powerful plastic World of garish colors and even more garish Characters. It would all seems like so much Fantasy, if it wasn't True.
