Good movie. I heard that it was originally billed as a comedy, but given that it's Scorsese, it's very dark, nerve-wracking, extremely tense and nothing at all like "comedy" in the mainstream sense.
And Tim Burton was going to direct, crazy enough.
I absolutely loved it. The camera work was stellar, how it glided around most of the film and really heightened the sense of paranoia. It truly was a surreal nightmare put to film and a joy to watch... especially late at night.
Here's my updated Scorsese rankings:
1. Raging Bull *****
2. GoodFellas *****
3. Mean Streets ****1/2
4. Taxi Driver ****1/2
5. Gangs of New York ****1/2
6. The Last Temptation of Christ ****1/2
7. After Hours ****1/2
8. The Departed ****1/2
9. The Aviator ****1/2
10. The Age of Innocence ****
11. Casino ***1/2
12. Cape Fear ***1/2
13. The Color of Money ***
