Not a particular failing to point out, just a random mish-mash of things I didn't like. Very exposition heavy too, with a couple big blocks of 'just for the slow folks out there' dialog. Not bad, but decidedly average, to me. I've noticed this film has a polarizing effect on its audience. I've talked with a number of people about it, and its either love, love, love, or burning hatred. My ambivalence seems to be the rarer of the available opinions. Wasn’t really a fan.

I’ve noticed this film has a polarizing effect on its audience. I’ve talked with a number of people about it, and its either love, love, love, or burning hatred. My ambivalence seems to be the rarer of the available opinions.

And I have to agree with Faraci: the film grows on you more and more. While I’m not yet sure if this is my favorite Scorcese film ever (time will tell), I did give it a glowing review.

AM hoping the movie will live up to its source material. With Scorcese at the helm I have faith in it though. Great review I read the novel recently and thought it was a damned decent read.
