Puts Mr Scorsese firmly back in the driving seat

Rating: 10/10 (7 May 2010)

Before we went to see this film I didn't look at which actors were in it, I only looked at the director and what the film was about. I am was not always a big fan of Leonardo DiCaprio but this film showed how well he has matured and found his footing, I think maybe Catch Me if You can was his last really good movie. I do not often write reviews about movies but in this instance I was glued to the screen as were the other people in the cinema, yes the film starts a little slow but with some exquisite camera angles and lighting it is hard not to become engrossed in just what is going on. I found myself in the film for most of the show only sometimes popping back to reality to have a drink Although in the film Teddy Daniels has flashbacks you are not sure what they are of or why he is having them and even at the end of the film it is still not crystal clear exactly who he is I must admit the whole film was brilliant but the ending was stunning definitely going to be a classic for generations to come and be in top 20 films of all time for several years, and we should not forget that this film is competing with ultra modern computer made films such as Avatar So in conclusion, if you have not been lucky enough to see this in the cinema it will be just as enjoyable on DVD please see it
