  Great entertainment flick.

  I also think TD is a hugely entertaining adaptation and spin on IA.

  I don't think either is a "great work of art" a la Rules of The Game or L'atlante or Third Man or Red Shoes or Sunrise or Tokyo Story or...

  You get my drift.

  Scorsese is pretty far from a "Hollywood" filmmaker.

  • Isn't that like complaining Coca Cola contains too much sugar? It's done on purpose - Victor Khomenko 15:19:51 10/29/06 (2)

    Both Coke and apparently this film (which I will likely not see until on free cable) are perfectly designed for their intended purpose.

    In that sense those "shortcomings" are not shortcomings at all, they are attaractions put there in order to increase the sales.
