Just got done seeing it. I wasn't really looking for them but I did catch one obvious Scorsese reference. It involves Ms. Mendes. Didn't feel like it belonged.
Anyway, I think the movie is worth a view. It has some pretty suspenseful moments. The rainy car scene was my favorite. It could use some more tension, though. Some critics said that Phoenix and Wahlberg mumble the whole time but I think the majority of it was natural. I didn't like the way the ending was written. The end sort of had the right idea but too much was left for open interpretation. I don't think doing that is appropriate when the whole rest of the film is relatively straight cut.
Hope you enjoy.
