Worth Seeing for DiCaprio's acting alone. Pretty amazing.

Rating: 7/10 (15 October 2006)

Double infiltration -- interesting movie. DiCaprio & Nicholson are amazing actors, no doubt. I give it a 7, because there are places that could have been much better directed in the telling of the story, but it was pretty killer overall - except for the fact that it leaves you feeling depressed instead of hopeful. Also- I left the theater right when they shot DiCaprio and the whole theater gasps in disbelief... I thought to myself: "yep- yet again the good guy, the glimmer of hope in all of this corruption get's wacked...in typical 'new Hollywood' style; it seems they like to have 'evil' triumph now-a-days. (I wish I'd stayed to see Walberg get Damon, but it didn't matter at that point, because a typical viewer is naturally pulling for DiCaprio to overcome the enormous dangers he's in and expose the bad guys. So when he get's shot - its like "crap- that sux - i'm outta here.") Oh well - I'll have to counter the psychological fx by watching a good indie film. lol . Enjoy -
