Well Done!

Rating: 8/10 (15 January 2014)

Overall, Leonardo did a terrific job. Captivating, funny, and engaging. Truly a star of the times. The plot was gripping, with due humor at strategic times, but really dragged with all the drugs, sex and rock & roll we all knew from the 80's. Believe me, I was there and do remember the times. Unfortunately, as good as this was, a 30 minute partial cut of some of the party scenes would have enhanced a super story instead of dragging it on. Yep, it dragged in a few places, yet the acting kept a flow that will give it it's higher rating. Scorsese knows how to direct, and this is a more than worthy movie to watch. I only suggest you do it at home when you can fast forward through the overdone party scenes or make more popcorn. 8 stars from me.
