A great movie!

Rating: 10/10 (12 October 2006)

A well-crafted movie with intricate plot developments based around many characters. Scorsese adds his familiar motifs to the movie to define it as his, hopefully he will finally breakthrough and get the Oscar. This is certainly his best since Goodfellas, with as much violence to boot. Great acting from the main characters, as well as the supporting ones makes this film a must-see for all film lovers! The movie's length is deceiving, at 2 and a half hours it seems more like a 90 minute film. Perhaps this is due to the varied plot development of the main and supporting characters. Time, of course, will alone tell if this film is to stand on it's own in relation to Scorsese's big three - Taxi Driver, Raging Bull and Goodfellas. I frankly have no doubt it will.
