When I heard that Martin Scorsese was making a new movie I didn't know what to think. He had made some superb movies such as Goodfellas, Raging Bull and Casino but recently he had made the Aviator which i thought was OK but nothing special. Also the fact that Leonardo DiCaprio was starring in it made me think that it wouldn't be all that great either as i had only seen 2 movies in which i thought he was good (Gangs of New York and the Beach). But then i heard the rest of the cast (Jack Nicholson..come on!!) and the plot (an urban crime saga) and i thought that Martin may very well make another classic. When the trailer came out i was blown away and couldn't wait to see. When i finally did get that chance i thought it was cinematic genius. a not too complicated storyline, great acting, well known actors and edge of your seat suspense. I'm not sure if this is as good as Goodfellas but Jesus Christ its as close as we'll ever get to ANY film topping Goodfellas....The master of crime movies is back!!

I thought this movie was dreadful. I just got back from seeing this and i must say i wasn't looking forward to it in the first place. I thought it would be a crappy remake of American pie which i did think was funny (the first 2 anyway). This, however, was not in the same league as any of the American pie movies. From the first few minutes i was almost asleep...trying to be funny time after time and getting no laughs from the audience. It was just trying to be something that it wasn't. With only one funny scene in the whole movie which i must say, to my knowledge anyway, was quite original and i laughed at that but for the rest of the time i was asleep. Probably one of the worst movies i have seen in a long time. I do not recommend this movie...i wish i had gone and seen Norbit instead
