Truly, I do not understand all the high ratings, love and hype for this film. Sure cinematically it's great. The shots, the lighting, the music. But, if it wasn't for De Niros acting, well...it's basically a boring movie that builds up to something that really isn't that wow!

Scorsese is a brilliant film maker yes. He has always been in a league of his own. But wow, this just doesn't reach the level of all the talk this movie has received in my opinion.

Really disappointing! Definitely a different side to De Niro to other roles he plays, but that's about it. Too long, too dragged out, too much of nothing going on.
