Well, if Shutter Island made it, that means that Scorsese probably got at least 3, maybe 4 in the countdown. My feelings on Scorsese are known, and this one's no exception. It's actually bottom tier for me. The craft is there, but I have issues with the story, and the logistics of the twist.
As for The Raid 2, I enjoyed it but I found it to be quite the opposite from the original in terms of scope and depth. Whereas the first one was a very simple, straightforward story told in 100 minutes, this one turns the story into an overtly complex one blown up with almost an additional hour. It's not bad, but I feel like there could've been a more convenient happy medium.
So, still nothing from my ballot...
