Mark Wahlberg haters ...die

Rating: 10/10 (22 October 2006)

I do not get why all these people are saying that Mark Wahlberg sucked in that movie. That was actually one of the movies that he was good in, and anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot.
The dialog was flawless from the beginning of the movie to the very end, Scorsese indeed has another masterpiece on his hands. I was very disappointed to see all the critics saying that Wahlberg delivered a terrible performance. "F**k" was used excessively, but I haven't seen a good movie that didn't have "f**k" in it every 3 seconds e.g. Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs. He played a role that took a lot of balls I guess, and he did it pretty damn well. My favorite line was definitely, "Maybe, maybe not, maybe f**k yourself." Again with the flawless dialog.
Directors like Scorsese and Tarentino really capture small talk moments that capture real life perfectly. They give you a different view than that of a happy utopia that so many movies portray. Utopia is bullshit. This movie goes into the heart of human behavior, and gives you a lot of good laughs along the way.
