And the point is???

Rating: 7/10 (3 July 2003)

(spoilers??)
Tons of hype saying this shoulda won and not Chicago. Bleh, The Pianist yes, but this movie? The violence, at least most of it, is overdone. Anyone want a jar full of ears?
The music is bizarre. The storyline is at times very vague. It's as though the movie was thrown together. Definately not Martin's best work. Sure Daniel Day Lewis was great in the movie, but it isn't his best movie either. That still belongs to In The Name of the Father.
Leo looks as mad as can be, but I wouldn't call that acting. It shows up from time to time. But nothing that can compare it to Titanic.

The dvd is disappointing. It's been splayed over 2 dvd's, with next to nothing in special features.

In the end, it's okay, it ain't bad. But it's nothing special. In fact after watching the history documentary on disc 2, it's obvious that the big huge mob scene was way too short. The movie is way too long. 14 minutes of the beginning is good, and the last half hour. But that's about it.
7/10
