Rivoting and powerful, this film is a must-see.

Rating: 10/10 (12 February 2003)

Like watching a train wreck or an interstate pile-up, you are drawn to the characters while often being disgusted by them; hating them one minute and sympathizing with them the next. This film gets your adrenaline pumping as it both entertains and repulses; endears and offends; and leaves you breathless and wanting more. The performances are electric - this is DeNiro at his best (if you loved him in Taxi Driver, you've got to see him in this)- and Cathy Moriarity gives a truly dynamic break-out performance. The entire cast is amazing, and Scorsese gives this film the look it deserves - as gritty and rough as its characters. Kudos, Marty - this is why we love you!
