Uncomfortable

Rating: 8/10 (13 May 2015)

I was very excited to see this movie because I love the director Martin Scorsese. I have seen many of his films so knowing that he directed this really excited me, that and the fact that Robert De Niro had the starring role. Generally I would not consider this movie to be my type of movie because of its gritty feel and psychopathic nature of the main character. I really enjoyed the film though, but was kind of confused at times by the decisions that De Niro's character made. Honestly the whole film and Robert De Niro's performance kind of made me feel very uncomfortable, especially by the end of the movie. But I think that is a good thing and also a great testament to the acting skills of De niro and the directing skills of Scorsese. Right after I finished watching it I really didn't feel like I'd want to see it again, but after a bit of time I have had a reoccurring urge to go back and watch it because I feel like there is more that I could pick up on with a second viewing.
