While I knew that Scorcese is, at his best, mostly hype, I didn't realise just how far over the hill he is until I wasted 2 1/2 hours of my life yawning through this silly mind game. The acting was uninspired -- except, ironically, for the extras and bit players -- and the non-existent "plot" was just plain dumb. Who is crazy? Who isn't? Gosh, could all this be an elaborate plot or is somebody bonkers? Here's a "spoiler": if you pay to see this fiasco, YOU are crazy. (My excuse is that it was the opening day and I was bored, lol) This film will thrill those who are young enough and/or dense enough to not know the difference between asinine rambling and suspenseful story telling. If you liked Avatar, you'll love this one. Otherwise, save your time and money for something worthwhile.
