Worse than awful

Rating: 1/10 (31 May 2014)

What does a film have to do to get an X rating these days? Full frontal female nudity, simulated sex, every vulgar word in the book, drug addiction. If you can get by all that, you are left with a tedious tale that goes on for three hours with one excess after another. Scorsese has never been noted for restraint, but he should be ashamed of this film. The Academy should go back to five Best Picture nominations to avoid letting an abomination like this get nominated.
And, finally, dropping an F-bomb has become commonplace in today's films, but this one is the undisputed world champion for total number and frequency of them.
