Hollywood Gossips Review:

Director Martin Scorsese has indeed created an epic, casting of Daniel Day-Lewis, Leonardo Di Caprio and Cameron Diaz is definitely well casted and the beginning is immensely fun, but what follows is a plot that seems weird and ultimately leaving me wanting more, sleepy at times, and feeling the film has not fulfilled its potential as the next Gladiator. But mistaken me, that is not to say this is a bad movie, but just some-what half-baked. The performance of Oscar Nominee Daniel Day-Lewis is definitely worst watching and perhaps one of the best screen villains since Darth Vader.  Leonardo Di Caprio and Cameron Diaz also had a terrific chemistry in giving the film some sex appeal and eye-candies, but they also put on a great performance. So what was wrong? Well, to me the plot and the slowness of the film seems to be the major problem and the final fight scene was not very well shot which left me rather bored and nearly felt asleep. But it was definitely worth the price of $6 and the stars performance alone would be worth your time.
