Could of been a Classic!

Rating: 5/10 (19 October 2006)

Started off OK, classic Scorsese, setting the story of how a young boy becomes involved in the underworld, the acting was great, except for the miss casting of Nicholson IMHO, and the pointless dildo in hand joke int he cinema. i found myself getting bored in the middle of the film, and in the end i didn't care which one of them would end up caught or dead, i just didn't get dragged into any of the characters. the symbolic ending with the dog turning away from Damon and then the Rat outside the window, was there any need for the symbolic rat, i mean they must of said Rat 252 times in the film already.
6/10 for me not in the same league as goodfellas or Raging bull
