thought i was watching the run-through

Rating: 4/10 (21 October 2003)

This movie is by far the worst movie Mr. Scorsese has ever done. Don't see it if you think Casino,Goodfellas,Taxi driver, King of Comedy, etc. are good movies, You'll be disappointed. I swear. And is it just the director's fault ? Well, eventually it is of course. But some others take the blame as well. Photography is a downright example of 'lot of money, let's do it the easy way', so unlike other movies by Scorsese. The acting by Cameron Diaz is probably the worst i've seen yet in a production even 1/8th this big. The scene where she's inevitably kissing DiCaprio is acted as if it's a lines run-through. I kept wondering when Ben Stiller would pop up. Anyway, hugely overrated, under-acted, under-shot, miss directed way one hour too long campy saga. Miss it if you can, or enjoy Daniel Day Lewis while you're at it. .... (Mr. Wolf sipping his coffee)
