A Rich Demented Exceptional Film

Rating: 10/10 (6 April 2010)

How much do I like this movie? Well I walked out of the cinema thinking Marty should ditch the gangsters and do more of these...not kidding
For someone who for so damn long favoured the always perfect movie Goodfellas as my favourite Scorsese film. This one has taken it's spot
Frankly it's more my kind of story. And the cast here is an absolute Chocolate box of a treat. The performances are peerless
Martys bravura reigns supreme and he makes us sit up again and be reminded of why he's Americas best director, the greatest living director and maybe (quite possibly) just the best of them all
To me Martys gift as a filmmaker is being uncompromising in his vision, but cuts his camera quickly. He doesn't sit in the Wide-angle Martys mind moves fast and his films are f@cking alive
Some have said the film is predictable...I didn't. I fell off my chair at the end, I walked out shell-shocked
Some also wish that the film just remained an art-house open ended movie that was more like a Mullholland Drive movie
Pish Posh, this film isn't a straight anything. I have no problem with the film whatsoever, repeat none, no problem
I saw the film again, knowing the twist and it was a completely knew experience, I was watching Ben Kingsley and Mark Ruffalo the way they were acting and it was fascinating
This is also Leos finest hour, and that is saying a hell of a lot. He cries and screams and it's absolutely authentic
If you don't want a grim ride, stay away from this one It's got rats and dead kids, my parents and I walked out of Crazy heart, they said the film was too dark. I said they should skip this one then
The film isn't for everyone, but the masses get five movies every week So tell hell with 'em!!!!!!!!!!
