My favourite film

Rating: 10/10 (20 October 2011)

'I don't want to be a product of my environment, I want my environment to be a product of me.' The film starts with this dialogue. A question is also popped at the very beginning- "When you face a loaded gun what's the difference,if you're a cop or a criminal?"At the very outset the mood which is started, is kept till the end.
Billy ( Leonardo) is from south Boston, has a family with criminal background, which makes him a suitable undercover in his criminal neighborhood. He is a mole in Costello's( Jack Nicholson)outfit. While, Colin Sullivan(Matt Damon)is a Sergeant in Massachusetts, is actually a mole working for Costello. Throughout the movie Billy & Collin try to figure out each others identity.
As referred to as Rock star of the gangsters Costello by Alan Baldwin, truly in this movie Jack Nicholson outshines everyone. His character is so insensitive in this film. Everybody has done justice to their characters. Again , Leonardo proved why he is Martin scorsese's pick. Mark whalberg's character of insulting everyone was very unique, also with Mark's Massachusetts accent, adorned the character.
Matt Damon was also very good. One more thing I want to say about this film is about its dialogues. I don't remember hearing so many crispy dialogue exchange, after Pulp Fiction. This movie is very intense throughout, with some twists and turns, that keeps you at the edge of the seat. This movie touches everything like, racial discrimination which was there once in Boston. And, bravely puts forth its opinions.
I have seen this movie more than 50 times. But, whenever I see it, it never bores me. This movie teaches you a lot of harsh realities of life. Martin scorsese dished out so many good flicks. But, according to me this has to be his best film. He gave it all. Deservedly, it won an Oscar This is one of the best crime thrillers of all time. I would recommend everyone to watch this great flick.
Hats off and all my clothes off to Martin scorsese for giving this incredible film. I'd like to finish this review off with a quote in this film- " No one gives it to you, you have to take it."
