Guilty of style over substance, Who's That Knocking at My Door is an aimless movie with no story to tell.
Martin Scorsese, in his directorial debut, tries to make it the Easy Rider of the 60's
but fails miserably. However, there are two things I like: Harvey Keitel and the experimental style. Now, I see where
Bad Lieutenant got the ideas
from as it rips off the final five minutes in regard to the religion scene.
The film is never sure of which direction to take. There's a worthless bar scene with three guys who are laughing and
fooling around. That being said, some of the characters can be either annoying or uninteresting. Throughout, there's a
vacillation between silence and loquaciousness. When people talk, there's no substance.
All in all, Martin Scorsese would do better.
