Indulgent and sometimes unnecessary

Rating: 6/10 (6 August 2018)

This is the fifth collaboration between Scorsese and DiCaprio coming from Gangs of New York, Aviator, Departed and Shutter Island I feel this is the lesser one. The Departed is probably their best collaboration because the writing was brilliant. The writing in this is underwhelming. This film is produced by DiCaprio and is made as a comedy rather then a serious movie. I haven't read the book but this man wasn't a good man we needed to see that more. We just saw drug's and hookers and a lot of cussing. I'm ok with those things but it needed to go with a better story. There's a lot of unnecessary stuff in this movie I just wish we could have focused on the real story. Overall the acting was great and I do feel DiCaprio should have won the Oscar for this
