Wick's Review

Summary - Great 4.0

High quality Scorsese with a bold faced cast operating at the top of their games, this movie misses serious greatness due to the ultimate absurdity of its plot and its numerous circoreality liberties.

Acting - Great 4.0

Male Stars - Perfect 5.0

Female Stars - Good 3.0

Female Costars - Barely OK 2.0

Male Costars - Perfect 5.0

Film - Very Good 3.5

Direction - Great 4.0

Dialogue - Very Good 3.5

Music - Great 4.0

Visuals - Good 3.0

Edge - Horrid 3.8

Mean men acting meanly, and bad men talking badly.

Sex Innocent 1.5

Violence Monstrous 5.0

Rudeness Vile 5.0

Reality - Glib 1.6

Hardly real. Unlike Scorsese’s Goodfellas, this movie is based on another fictional movie, not on a true story. As such, it depends on extensive circumstantial reality sleights of hand.

Circumstantial - Glib 2.0

Biological - Glib 1.8

Less than you might expect, and certainly less than a lesser director would require.

Physical - Natural 1.0
