Overrated!

Rating: Null/10 (15 October 2006)

Once again another movie with potential ruined by a confusing, poorly edited ending. Thelma, maybe you should finally retire to the SAG home (if you are a member). The ending had all the earmarks of a Quentin Tarantino movie, and Mr. Scorsese should be ashamed of himself for copying a master, who was making movies such as this 15 years ago. I left the theater thinking of The Bourne Supremacy, with it's twists and turns, and superlative ending and comparing this mish-mash I had just seen, leaving me feeling confused, and wondering why such an intriguing first half was totally debased, hacked up, and ruined by Tarantino theatrics, which are best done by him anyway. Great cast and good performances by all concerned, except Mr. Scorsese, his editor Thelma Scoonmaker, and the writer, or should I say "adapter", since this movie was taken from another script.
