Nothing to spoil!

Rating: 1/10 (11 February 2003)

SPOILERS, I SUPPOSE... My problem with this movie is its complete lack of drama. My girlfriend and I looked at each other about 2:10 into this 2:40 waste of time and sighed simultaneously, saying "This is such a bad movie". Very tempted to walk out right then and there but I suppose out of respect for Scorcese's career, we stayed. We both felt that the ending, set up by the opening scene, was obvious and trite, but presented arrogantly as profound. The chemistry between Leonardo and Cameron was completely absent. DDL did what he did well, but it felt more like an acting exercise than a character in context. This movie was boring, boring, boring. Did not care in the least about any of the characters. Scary that this was nominated for best pic.
On the flip side, nice sets and costumes.
