scorcese's finest

Rating: Null/10 (15 May 2003)

undoubtably scorcese's finest film. however true to the real story the film may be, scorcese asserts hegemony over the position of "the best man for the job" in telling a gangster story. perhaps what is best, is how pesci and de niro show the true colors of method acting. while watching, the viewer does not see pesci and de niro, they see santoro and rothstein. sharon stone even managed to rise to the occasion. outstanding documentary styly story, with all sorts of convincing tricks: voice-overs, brilliant camera-work, exquisite editing. the overall picture for me is a nine out of ten. brilliant film-making!
