An honest, concise critique

Rating: 6/10 (10 October 2006)

Although this movie is not that bad, it is however, too overrated. The movie spans more than 2 hours, a lot of which are used to re-iterate irrelevant minute details that don't contribute much to character development, plot, or the general theme. The movie is plain in trying to create a complex story which basically is not all that complex..2 simple parts that cocoon the overall story. watch this movie and judge for yourself, but don't follow the general wave that gives this movie excessive credit where it does not deserve it. Think about it from a third party perspective for a minute..Would this movie be as highly acclaimed and rated if it wasn't directed by Martin Scorcese and starred A-list celebs? imagine a normal cast, I'm pretty sure this movie would be in the same rankings as the lethal weapon series.. 5-7 but definitely not top 250.
