Another mediocre Scorsese effort.

Rating: 3/10 (23 February 2010)

Honestly, have we decided to give Martin a pass? Everyone raved about the Departed and it was a bad remake, heavy with metaphor and horribly miscast. Now we have a "thriller" with a predictable twist, ludicrous plot line and laughable dialogue. Seriously people; this is the guy that gave us Raging Bull and Goodfellas and Kundun. Now we're stuck with Gangs of New York and this piece of garbage. Unbelievable how many people are giving this movie such glowing reviews. It's as if the mystique of Scorsese has grown to such epic proportions that no one is willing to question or criticize him without facing the wrath of the film community. Well, I say keep your film community, I'll keep my ability to discern between great storytelling and overproduced crap. Save your money and rent Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore.
