Movie is actually a bit of a mess, it seems.
Acting from Deniro seems very wooden at times.
Clearly trying to borrow much of the stye from Goodfellas, which is fine, I guess. But it just fell sort of flat, to me.
Movie seems almost "uneven" -- I can't really describe how. Almost like it jerks back and forth from certain tones very poorly. Too much showing the "how it's done" casino stuff, and then jumping to the romantic storyline, etc. Just fell flat, IMO.
Scorsese is my fav director, btw. "Raging Bull" is his best, in my opinion. Flawless!
