Slow, boring, pretentious, pointless, mind-numbing !

Rating: 1/10 (1 March 2016)

Why on earth did Scorsese get involved with this giant clunker?
It is a dreadful exercise in movie-making, based on a badly-written, poorly- thought-out story line. There is no clever aspect, nothing of the sort that made Hitchcock so great.
The actors do the best they can -- I guess -- with this film which has a feeling of decadence and doom about it. The ending is a blessed relief.
I enjoyed the clothes, the props, the car that was blown up, so I cannot rate it zero. One out of ten is the best I can do.
Give this bomb a miss. Don't be persuaded by anyone that it is an intellectual treat: no, it is simply a flop with a few big names in it.
