Slowest film in history!

Rating: 1/10 (27 January 2005)

I went to the cinema on a whim and thought I'd watch the new Scorsese film DESPITE not really having liked Leonardo Di Caprio's acting since "What's eating Gilbert Grape". In one way I am happy I did go yesterday, though this film has to be the slowest moving film I have ever sat through. The plot, which could have been such an interesting story, was jumping here and there and everywhere and introducing characters that had nothing to do with the storyline just to introduce them. Very confusing and very dull for longer periods of time. What DOES save this film is actually Leonardo Di Caprio! I have not seen this man act as well as he does in this since ..... since his last Oscar nominated film! My hat off for Leo, but Scorsese needs to get back on track and care more of the plot line than the cinematography! This is far from his best film.......
