A very good flick.

Rating: 7/10 (6 July 2014)

Not the best Scorsese flick. Starting with The Departed I became very interested/obsessed with Scorsese's films. It wasn't until The Wolf of Wall Street that I decided to start a Scorsese marathon. Now I haven't watched all of his films, but for me this has to be the one that seems to be the longest, even though Casino was longer I enjoyed it even more than Goodfellas. Some scenes tend to get boring, I place it primarily on Cameron Diaz and some parts to Leo's acting. Every scene in which Day Lewis is in is pure awesomeness. Liam Neeson also provides a great performance, even though he SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER!!!!!!! dies in the first 15 minutes or so. I would recommend this film for Scorsese fans exclusively,not that other people wouldn't enjoy it, but it doesn't seem to be his best film. This film also marks Scorsese's first collaboration with Leo, which in the ensuing collaborations seems better suited than this film. For everyone interested in Marty's films start with Goodfellas or the classic Taxi Driver and move your way up or down as you like, because Scorsese's filmography has a wide range of variety, from gangster flicks to children's movies.
