content: Deniro is one of the best actors of all time. Most all of Scorcese's films are jewels. But...I couldn't get through this film in one sitting. An overdose. The script seemed ad-libed and overfull. It was boring. It was depressing from start to finish with no sense of salvation for any of the characters, nor did they deserve it.I bought the special edition and absolutely enjoyed the special features, though it won't drive me back to watch the film again."Mean Streets" and "Taxi Driver" did the same thing to me,,so perhaps I'm peculiar.
