an uninspired copy of the Good Fellas

Rating: 2/10 (18 January 2014)

What I really hated in this movie wasn't the hysterical douche bag characters. It wasn't the Long duration, nor that DiCaprio was playing like a "master of ceremonies" in Cabaret. It wasn't even the repetitive drug party scenes nor the sexistiest of uses of women.
What I really disliked was that Scorsese blinked an eye at all this and. For more than 2 and half hours we were "celebrating" with the greedy scums and their joys. For 30mins or so, we were supposed to feel the fall of the greedy bastards. I didn't feel a thing. And that scene with the FBI agent inside the miserable metro... oh dear...
I can only grade this movie as a bad copy of Good Fellas. An overrated flat film that it is interesting only if you watch it as a docudrama.
