I have been known to be nice to movies ... I've also been known (at least to myself), that I have issues with characters or choices that I am not comfortable with or think the movie went wrong in certain places. Now our main character here is not the most likeable. And that is something that really makes it hard to feel for him at certain stages, which is something that dampens the movie and its impact quite a bit.
If that does not bother you as much, you can easily add another point to my initial rating - or maybe two. I am quite sure I had seen the movie before, but I did't remember it at all. Seen or not I remember seeing the video tape at video stores ... I reckon I have aged myself. Or alienated those not familiar with the terms/words I just used. Whatever the case, if anyone feels that way, wait til they see a movie where the main character is not able to use a cell phone or internet ... I know, shocking! But true as this movie is able to show us.
The movie is well done, which is no surprise considering Scorsese did it. Great cast and suspense from start to finish.
