A profound & captivating suspense drama.

Rating: 10/10 (21 February 2010)

Scorsese's venture of making a noir thriller is an absolute treat; he has proved to me that his range is not limited to gangster dramas.
This intense and captivating story has some really strong performances and a fantastic story. Moreover, the ending is one of the best I've seen in recent years. The audience can guess all they want, but Scorsese's balancing act between what is real and what is not is superb. It is not a simple twist, but a surprise with profound layers. You may have guessed it somewhat, but you will not soon forget it.
Leonardo's acting is again as intense as only he can deliver, and he was phenomenal in a certain flashback towards the end. The supporting cast is bursting with talent and each and every individual delivers the goods.
Overall, this movie is a real gem and people who enjoy well-crafted twists, wait till you see the ending of this one. It may be early, but this will surely be one of the best movies of 2010.
