I felt that this film was half-baked (ok, maybe 3/4-baked). The blame is really on Martin Scorsese, as he had on hand a collection of capable actors, but just didn't manipulate them and the story right. His "micro"-cinemagraphic skills are superb, but he needed a bigger step in this film to make it great. It's a mixture of historical and sensational events that just don't go anywhere. None developed more than skin-deep. Too bad.
