Negative Positive
Title: White Collar Goodfellas
Review: First off, let me start by saying that this movie has one of the worst endings I have seen in a really long time, nothing is resolved. Giovanni Ribisi has a ton of talent but it is wasted on this convoluted script which has no direction and takes the viewer nowhere. Ben Affleck is great as the company's pitchman but his appearances are few and far between, as are Vin Diesel's. Nia Long's part is completely wasted and has no bearing on the plot whatsoever. The relationship between Ribisi and his father is ridiculous. So basically the only thing that makes this movie good is watching these sharks in action. The movie contains some great one-liners and the action on the floor is key. But overall, the narration is taken right from Goodfellas 101 as is the camera work on some of the more violent scenes. I mean seriously any movie whose key quote was penned by the Notorious BIG is trying really hard not to be taken seriously.
Is the review positive or negative?
