boring

Rating: Null/10 (7 September 2003)

Scorcese movies have always been an occasion worth celebrating. From the first "Taxi Driver" till the ultimate best "Goodfellas" all of his movies were at the very least super entertaining. However, to my modest opinion this is not the case with this one.
The first thing that comes to my mind is the length of the movie-super long. Actually, is not that it was long rather that it was filled up with nothing. "Magnolia" was much longer, but it didn't feel long at all cause it was interesting. The acting, with the exception of Daniel Day-Lewis' one, was weak. Even Diaz who I really appreciate as an actress was very unconvincing. But I don't think this was her fault, it was more of a bad screenplay. With the exception of the opening and closing fights, the rest was even painful to watch. It would've been so much better had it been an hour short.
I wouldn't recommend this movie to my friends. I think that there are thousand better ways of spending 166 min of one's life than watching this film. 6 stars out of 10.
