this movie was about 40 minutes too long. The film was pretty good for the most part, but I felt it was pretty repetitive in the first and second act in spots.
The characters are iconic Scorsese. Very reminiscent of Goodfellas and Casino.
There's one scene that seems almost like Jonah Hill wrote it... and I mean that in a bad way...

this movie was pretty standard. Nothing really happens that made me care about the characters until the third act.
The fight itself is nothing to write home about either.
Speaking of Alexander, I never understood why he decided to tell the story he told in that movie. I thought that should have been a very focused "becoming" story.
The only good thing about that movie is Rosario Dawson.
