Extremely recommended

Rating: 9/10 (15 June 2015)

Mr. Scorsese had his ups and downs throughout the career. In both cases it was somehow extreme. This one is definitely in the "ups" and of the best he has ever made. Supported by excellent cast of peers (noone really stands out, except maybe for Jack Nicholson being over the top at moments), with fantastic cinematography and editing, Mr. Scorsese shows everybody how to tell a story. Fantastic editing and direction, with subtle messages through music and details in scenes, makes this movie one of the best ever made in the genre. Here one finds everything that makes a good old-fashioned rich movie experience: deep plot, twists and turns, tense, emotions and something I call "unpredictable predictability" (when one knows what is going to happen but not how and when). Excellent job, everybody. Now, watch the movie and give credit where the credit is due.
