An incredible act of faith and understanding, but.....

Rating: 8/10 (26 January 2017)

They claim that Martin Scorsese has been planning on making this film for about 26 or 27 years. This film is not bad by any standards this film is actually been very under appreciated at the Oscars. Although this didn't have many of the things I love about Scorsese. This movie had the potential of being his most gruesome emotional film yet. This film isn't worth its R rating if I remember it correctly it doesn't even swear and the violence is not even all that graphic. The most graphic part is when one man gets his head chopped off and for a Scorsese film that's like a paper cut. this movie was beautiful from the acting (Andrew Garfield should have had a nomination from the Oscars) to the camera work which was the only Oscar nomination. I have seen almost all of the movies up for best picture, and this movie is understandably not nominated. But it's still stunning, emotional, and will make you question who you are and what you believe. There are two main reasons I gave this film an eight and not a nine. ONE- Martin Scorsese had 26 years to make a masterpiece, and it's not even in his top three best films maybe not even top five. TWO - It was underwhelming at some key moments. Although I have said some harsh words about this film it's still an amazing film, and you should go see it!!!!!!!!
