Classic Scorsese!

Rating: 10/10 (27 November 2019)

I cant believe what I saw after looking at the man in his Seventies responsible for it. Among that famous group of 1970's directors including George Miller, Spielberg, etc, Scorsese's style has the most staying power. This fact is on display in this movie.
I cant think of a bad thing about this movie. Scorsese's last movie - "Silence" was my favorite movie that year. This one is my favorite this year. Don't worry about the running time; you wont feel it.
My best movie experiences are those that feel so real that I feel i'm participating in the movie rather than being a bystander. Like Silence, this one did that to me. I felt I was there - in the screen. There's nothing about this that I don't absolutely Love.
Scorsese has shown what a sharp head he still has on that aging shoulders. The Cast was great, I mean, how can you go wrong with this star power right? The camera work and the sound also contribute greatly to the immersion you get.
I'm really grateful to Netflix for making this movie a reality. Think about it - with all the recent social message movies flooding Hollywood these days, do you think this movie would have been green lit given its running time and its overall theme?
