Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
It's Martin Scorsese's second least popular movie, after The Last Temptation of Christ. Which is a shame, because it's Scorsese's second greatest film, after Taxi Driver.
– Joyce Millman,

fresh:
It's very funny, and it ends on a high note that was, for me, both a total surprise and completely satisfying. Yet it's also bristly, sometimes manic to the edge of lunacy and, along the way, terrifying.
– Vincent Canby,
New York Times,
20 May 2003
rotten:
To be sure, Robert De Niro turns in another virtuoso performance for Martin Scorsese, just as in their four previous efforts. But once again -- and even more so -- they come up with a character that it's hard to spend time with.

fresh:
The uncenteredness of the film is irritating, though it's irritating in an ambitious, risk-taking way.
– Dave Kehr,
Chicago Reader,

fresh:
It is frustrating to watch, unpleasant to remember, and, in its own way, quite effective.
