Another Gory, Raw Scorcese Picture

Rating: 8/10 (5 January 2008)

I'm not a fan of Martin Scorcese, and I'm not really a fan of Gangster movies, but my husband really wanted to watch it. The acting was great, the story was good, I've seen the Chinese movie this was derived from which I also enjoyed. The plot is like molasses, you get sucked in by the situation. Matt Damon, Leonardo DiCaprio and Jack Nicholson have great chemistry and I would like to see them do another movie on a lighter subject. There was so many twists and turns that you can't help but get interested. All in all a good film, the end leaves you shocked and a little confused, but all in all a very good film, and the nominations were absolutely deserved. If your not into gangster movies but enjoy any of the main actors, you might want to check it out because the cast is first rate!
