When you read what other viewers has pointed out about the coherence of this film, his slow paced developement, the boring dialogues, the some times amateurish feature filming style, clearly filmed on real locations but with out any official permission from NY authorities, some filming on an alley, on a real room, or in a sidewalk besides a construction building, or any other place that clearly is not a filming set, all filmed in a rush, and with the characters talking as if they has no rush or clear purpose, or if this purpose suddenly has let to care and it would most improtant to talk chit chat that to convey to an end, it's clearly that the film is about something else than about to friends in financial problems.

And all is because the film is not about that. The film is an early pay debt from Scorsese to Jean-Luc Godard. If you haven't see any Godard movie, it's understable that you feel dissaponited by a very vague narrative, a bunch of characters not very well developed in a classical way, a constant talk and talk and talk, and very little action, unless you want to see an explosion filmed in a rush and chaotic manner.

All this conduce to Godard. Yes, the talk of all characters, beyond the plot, sound very existential, they are not speak the dialogues you would expect from traditional Hollywood losers on the films from that or later era.

Of course, is not the kind of movie you would excpect from what has become the image and signature we have from the later Scorsese. This is his first movie, and he pay his debt with Jean-Luc Godard, to whom he clearly admire, and has say it many times.

If you haven't seen his films, you probably would, but you have to know that French nouvelle vague was a revolutionary filmstyling opposed to filming conventions and narratives, so if you have been shaped by industrial Hollywood, you probably find this kind of films boring, disjointed, amateurish, unconventional, but that was what they were exactly looking for. They don't wanted to look profesionals but rather natural, chaotic, as life is. And that is what make this first Scorsese film great.

And more important, against Hollywood conventions, and opposed to later Scorsese'e filmography, Godard say that a film doesn't have to cost a million dollars, and could and would be filmed by anyone. That's the way you make a name by yourself in an indystry with everytime more millions of dollars invested in bad films.

This is most Godardian Scorsese's film ever.

Imagine you are watchingt a docomentary on which notorious criminal and mobster Al Capone invites a revisionist and try to conmvicne you that he is the good guy and that government and Law enforcement officials are trying to stop free enterprise and free trade, and Tax Office try to force to you to pay your taxes, as anybody, which he has constantly avoided year after year. And yo say to your accomplises, in this case your employees, to vote with the highest rank this garbage, even when it is clearly made for diseminate all kind of lies. Now, change the name of Al Capone and put Ricardo Salinmas Pliego, a corrupt millionare who has made his fortune by stealing, literally, other people money and resourses, conning anyone who cros against his path.

If you think I'm exagerating, you need to consider that this crap was made my a man who made his fortune through his connection with corrupt Mexican politicians, starting with former president Carlos Salinas de Gortari and his corrupt brother, Raul, who spent several years in prison for corruption and links with drug dealers, and who claims he borrow to this entrepreneur 30 million dollars to acquire Mexican television in a fraudulent interchange, with any paper, and after that, this honorable entrepreneur steal that money and never pay what this borrow to him. You can add to this his debt to the SAT (Mexican equivalent to the US ISR) on taxes in an amount of 74 000 millions of Mexican pesos, of his allegedly fortune of $5,500 millions of dollars, without counting his debt to US investors on an amount of 580 millions of dollars. You can do the math and conclude about how veridic are his allegations of free trade and freedom on this docuseries.

So, yes, this is the worst kind of dumentary you can watch. So, please, don´t.

I give a 9 stars out of 10 to this porn movie since shows a story with a plot in a small package that make believable thanks to a real development insted a bunch of unrelated or vaguely sex scenes. Here we have a couple relationship with a real couple on screen and a few other supported actors, and everything flows with a sense of natural underground life, instead of a bunch of unrelated vignetes. And more important, show that this couple could act -not for an Oscar but a very descent and believable performance- and create a story by themselfs. It si also probably Missy's last picture, or one of her last, so it could be her testament as a sex performer to show how strong actores she can be, since she deliver an incredible performance that confirms she could be more than an incredible beautiful Wicked contract girl. We always missed her as one of they best girs of that era. RIP dear Missy.
