An excellent film.

Rating: 10/10 (24 February 2005)

Martin Scorsese's masterfully directed film ranks up with his best films such as GoodFellas, Taxi Driver, and Mean Streets. Leonardo DiCaprio gives a much better performance than he did in Gangs of New York, that film was all about Daniel Day-Lewis. Cate Blanchett gives her usual Oscar worthy performance as an excellent Katherine Hepburn. The film was also filled with smaller performances from such great as Alan Alda, Alec Baldwin, John C. Reilly, Ian Holm, Willem Dafoe, and Jude Law. Any true Scorsese fan will be blown away by this wonderful film. I can only hope the Academy looks past Jamie Foxx's very good performance in Ray and vote for Di Caprio's excellent performance in The Aviator.
