It's a gripping heist/chase/good guys vs bad show with more plot holes in it than Gruyere but if you can suspend all logic it's a fun ride, except for the ending. There isn't one. It just hangs and creates more questions than it answers. A series should be enough of a coherent whole with at least some resolution to be able to stand alone. I'm not going to watch another series if they pull the same you'll have to watch the next series sham at the end.

Drawn out soundtrack with dancing. An interesting spotlight on the times and with flashes of brilliance, like the singalong and its counterpoint, the wild macho dance, but some scenes were just tedious and the story, what little there was, failed to deliver - much ado about nothing.

OMG, Joaquin Phoenix lost so much weight his shoulders pop, he laughs hysterically, and he can't dance. Acting genius! Give him an Oscar. This is the best movie since the last gory psycho killer movie I saw, and I just loved the blood spatter, er, I mean, this is an important exploration of mental illness and a damning indictment of society's failure to understand comic book villains. Two stars for this overrated, pretentious revenge pic, mostly for De Niro's portrayal of a smug TV host (surely a reference to Letterman) who cynically exploits the painfully untalented for audience amusement and derision.
