I wanted to like this movie, I really did. It's not terrible, but there was nothing interesting or original about it either, and its not worth the punishing run time. The dialogue seemed stale, the characters are forgettable, the plot is all over the place, the cinematography is dull, and it lacks that energy and emotion that Scorsese movies usually have. If you want to see a trilling crime/gangster drama, just watch any of Scorsese's earlier movies and avoid this gigantic waste of time. Goodfellas, Casino, and The Departed are all brilliant classics, and are much more entertaining than this despite not being much shorter in run time.
