The Last Movie Epic

Rating: Null/10 (3 January 2003)

And for that we can be glad because for all its authenticity, this is a totally over-bloated bore. The acting is superb especially Day-Lewis & Diaz...even Leo is tolerable but not believeable as a macho leader. But--at almost three hours, we simply get worn down. Less is more & Scorsese just doesn't get that concept.
MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD: At the industry screening near the end of the film after the massive, violent "draft war" massacre, when Day-Lewis & Leo just happen to end up side by side soaked in blood, the audience tittered w/unintentional laughter. Then when Diaz "just by accident" stumbles upon both of them, it was too much for the capacity crowd who howled in disbelief.
