Must watch crime drama

Rating: 8/10 (18 May 2019)

Is Leonardo Dicaprio in the movie? Yes. Is one of the main character's religious despite his sinister actions? Yes. Is there a blonde haired leading actress? Yes. Well, we have a must see Martin Scorsese film that checks off all the boxes except for the Italian stereotypes, am I right? And I think this is why I have no desire to rewatch The Departed, although I enjoyed it, because there isn't anything new here. I would much rather rewatch Goodfellas or The Wolf of Wall Street or one of his rawer films from the 1970s. This is Scorsese at his best, this is Leonardo Dicaprio at his best, this is everyone in the film at their best. Maybe not their career defining best, but their best nonetheless.
