Very uneven movie

Rating: 6/10 (29 May 2007)

Overly stylized look at the life of eccentric visionary and genius Howard Hughes.
Scorcese and company cannot decide how to portray this man.
For me, the best scenes were the congressional hearings held by a corrupt senator who was bought and paid for by the head of PAN-AM airways. Howard Hughes worked himself up to verbally ripping Senator Brewster to shreds.
More could have been done about the success of TWA, the constellation airliner and the foundation that Hughes laid for safe, affordable commercial air transportation
