I finally saw this film the other day on DVD - for some reason I never got round to seeing it at the cinema...and I loved it.
A smart, cat and mouse script, where the mice are both cats and the cats are both mice...a wonderful ensemble cast...and catchy, fast direction.
Scorsese is often a director whom I admire far, far more than I enjoy - it's impossible not to be blown away by the styling and look of Taxi Driver and Raging Bull etc, but I can't say that watching them gives me a great deal of pleasure. Strangely, it's when he steps away from that iconic style that I love his films, rather than appreciating them in some distanced aesthetic sense.
