What’s Hot
- Scorsese’s unique narrative style with a background narration by Sam/Nicky is a major highlight in the film making it score well in the ‘style over substance’ measure.
- The background tracks running throughout the film offer jives & rock fans a reason to celebrate the movie.
- The amazing screen presence that Robert De Niro,Joe Pesci & Sharon Stone garner is quite evident in the scenes involving any combination of these stars.
- The colossal climax carnage is typical Scorsese stuff that gets even the passive of viewers excited.
What’s Not
- The Lousy act of police in nabbing De Niro even after having set everything against him.
