Didn't think much of this. It was confusing. As one reviewer said, you had to look up the ending on Google to make sense of it. Frankly, I no one moved me. I felt sorry for Donnie (Jake Gyllenhaal) but it was hard to care when he didn't do much for me and until the end he was always causing trouble.

Oh, Dr. Lilian Thurman (Katharine Ross) as useful as Doctor Jennifer Melfi from the Sopranos. But she had a haircut that would make any patient suffer.

At the 1 hour and 20 minute mark when Cagney says' "I'm new at this job." He is 51 and looks much older than that. To suggest he is a rookie beat-cop is kind of crazy. But, not as crazy as suggesting he can wrap not one, but two beautiful women (one with a lot of money) around his finger at the same time.

I enjoyed it enough. However,when you've seen so many versions (40s, 70s, 90s, 2010s) it is hard to figure out what they did better or not. Without giving too much away, let me say the following that I did like: The darker tone was a good choice. The dubbing seemed tolerable. (Better than subtitles I guess). The fight scenes were cool and rather believable. On the other hand, the Protestant stuff went on way too long. I understand the need for strong female characters but Milady was too much like a super hero for me. Oh, Portos ... unique relationships? Is there no real security in these places?
