Scorsese's best maybe ever

Rating: 10/10 (20 February 2010)

Well, just walked out of the theater, not really sure how to sum up the movie I just experienced. Yes, I say "experienced." That's what it was, an experience. Too bad it's not included in this year's Oscars; the rest of the year had better be good or it's all over. Why gush over this movie? The story took me places I haven't been before, and DiCaprio is already on next year's best actor list. Disturbing, thought provoking and smart to say the least, I didn't see what was coming.
The acting, every shot, classic MS. He gets you in the mood from the start and keeps you where he wants you...you aren't allowed but a small chuckle from time to time, but it quickly subsides and you are back into creep mode. A different story from what we are used to with Scorcese, but he has to be put up there with the best ever. Go watch before someone spoils the ending for you.
