It didn’t really do much for me. In fact I found it quite disappointing, especially after all the fuss I’ve heard about it. Ferrara holds the shots for too long just so he could surpass the 90 minute mark. And I don’t like directors who like to be controversial for the sake of being controversial. How many times did I have to see Keitel taking drugs and doing bad deeds? It got tiring after a while, especially since it was never explained why he possesses such a corrupted soul.
Keitel’s brilliant performance barely saves this movie IMO.
