it must just be me

Rating: 4/10 (27 January 2007)

look, everything about this movie has been done a million times before. OK the actors were good but its Scorcese!! I quite enjoyed it until the piece were Queenan got killed. he is a cop, and a big cheese - are we really expected to believe that he wouldn't have A had back-up or, b called for re-enforcements when he knew the mob were coming? sorry but that bit just blew the movie for me.
i could recognise all sorts of bits pinched from other movies - blade runner with the Asian street scenes and the blow-up pics, goodfellas of course, godfather, etc etc sorry but not a movie milestone. just a quite well made gansta film
