Arrrrggghhhhhhhh!!!,

Rating: 5/10 (17 July 2007)

Honestly I am surprised.
This is by far the worst movie from Scorsese ever.
It is Nothing more than an action Hollywood clichéd movie... But way gorier than the average ones although it is good entertainment
Terrible Performances (Why was Jack Nicholson cast, when you have actors like Robert DeNiro or William Hurt who can play a gangster better?)
DiCaprio playing (once again) himself and Alec Baldwin... well.
Mark Whalberg was good, so was the guy who plays Mr. French, and Matt Damon was not bad either. Vera Farmiga was underused (No wonder Scorsese wanted someone new, a famous actress would have never taken the role).
The movie could have been pretty good if it weren't full of racial slurs and many carbon copied scenes.
There is no way to deny that this movie got a pity Oscar, and pity awards, courtesy of 'critics' that felt sorry for Mr. Scorsese long 'overlooked' career... But I'm more enraged that it won screenplay unless that category has been changed to 'Best copied screenplay'
If you value cinema as an art form, avoid this and watch the original but if you want to be entertained watch this instead and don't expect a lot
