Some really cool shots, but merely a decent plot

Rating: 6/10 (15 August 2010)

Some of the sequences of this movie are outstanding. The shot of DiCaprio in the burning home looks like a real dream. The tracking shot of the Nazi murders is equally as impressive. Of course, with Scorsese behind the camera, you know you are going to get great cinematography. However, the movie is predictable. You know within the first five minutes that DiCaprio's character is crazy. New characters are introduced to try and throw you off the scent, but it is never very successful. Much of the dialogue is wasted, and I am still trying to figure out what the point of the movie was. All in all, though the movie is filmed very well, the plot comes up short.
