Simple

Rating: 6/10 (17 March 2008)

Put simply if someone else other than Scorsese had made this movie it would have been declared a high quality film worth watching but one that delivers nothing really new. And that's what it is. Because it is Scorsese however, it gets auto kudos because kids nail their egos to the Scorsese brand and buy everything regardless of quality. This is what modern marketing is all about, and it is what stifles creativity, cue the endless sequels, remakes and movie adoptions of TV ideas. And at a real stretch some people may even pull out a 3 page note from a dead directors vault and turn it into a wine commercial. Did someone say "Key to Reserva".
