disappointment

Rating: 5/10 (10 February 2007)

this movie was a disappointment to me because it had more potential to be a masterpiece than any other movie i have seen in a long, long time. the acting was TOP NOTCH, but the language was over the top. i can handle that to an extent because it is being realistic, but what really made me upset was one scene where a secret meeting is taking place inside of a XXX theater. OK,fine. but why do i have to SEE the porn? i averted my eyes and that was it for me. i do not admire Scorsese any longer for subjecting the audience to this trash. it would have been a tremendous movie if not for these two factors of language and nudity. i can't stress enough that i don't go to the movies to see porn that has no point in being in the movie at all. i could have maybe stomached it if there had been a legitimate point to having it in the movie. it was just gross.
