An Endless, Terrible Mess

Rating: 1/10 (8 February 2007)

What has happened to Scorcese? This film is just plain bad on so many levels, from the dreadful lead actress, to the hackneyed and confusing and badly structured & written script. There are bells and whistles aplenty, but bad acting, verbose storytelling, and general filmic desperation are the salient aspects of this bad film. Scorcese deserves the Oscar for Mean Streets, Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, King of Comedy, Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, but if he wins one for this dreadful movie, well, that's Hollywood. It seems Scorcese has been in Hollywood too long and is trying to impress the suits by parodying his early work...
