Scorsese and DiCaprio continue their love affair. Worth watching if only for the craft and the intensity that their synergism always produces. Graphic and dark, Scorsese's shot blocking always transcends most visual cinema pap. Leo jumps in with relish bordering on slightly over the top for this melodramatic comic book, masters Ben Kingsley and Max Von Sydow are obviously having fun as was I watching them work. Story? This is a lightweight dark piece that could have been an episode of TV's "Twilight Zone" or "Tales From The Crypt". Scorsese beats DiCaprio's character's flashbacks to death to lead us kicking and screaming to the obvious conclusion. Overly ponderous, I can think of at least 30 minutes that could have been left on the floor.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
