Too Much IntespationThe movie is good for what it means but, we already have an idea of where the movie is going, so therefor, we are just watching the buildup between De niro and Dicaprio but, don't get me wrong, Dicaprio finds other supportive characters but, never the less, I think De niro takes his proformance over the top..Score: 2/5

GREAT MOVIE!What a great movie robert deniro and leonardo diCaprio are great together, they really need to make another film together in the 21st century!.Score: 5/5
