Lame camera work

Rating: 6/10 (29 December 2013)

I give it a 6. Mainly for the entertainment value. Martin Scorsese does have a knack for good quotes and some interesting dialog, he also pushes his characters into climaxes we may not see in other movies, I like this. But overall, the story was week and did not develop very deeply. I do believe the cast was right for this movie and Leo did a good job. He is really looking and sounding like a younger Jack Nicholson in some of this movie. The cinematography was the biggest disappointment for me. I am very much into lighting and shot design when it comes to the big screen and though there we a few shots that were good, most of it seemed like a repeat of other movies, nothing new and mesmerizing.
