The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
Overrated movie.some of the story does not make sense.but i like the end of revenging Queenan
Twistful, masterly crafted and shocking in parts this is a brilliant film. With argument for it being Scorsese's best the all star cast deliver a truly special film that's rewarding to watch, I highly recommend
When I saw this movie-great movie-back in 2006 when I lived in Washington DC and attended the George Washington University; I watched it with an African American Woman who was a fellow college student. I loved the movie-one of the best Boston movies behind Live By Night featuring Ben Affleck. The first thing my buddy Alexandria said about the movie was this: " I love-sarcastically-how the only Black Woman feature in the film was a whore"! I never thought about it until I saw the movie again that she was right. There were very few Black Woman features in this movie but the only main one featured Jack Nicholson and a Black Prostitute in the theater. What is up with that?
Fantastic from start to finish. Unbelievable cast, great twist and you really get into each character in the movie. Superbly directed too.. Must see !
