Just keeps building and building and building! Definitely worth seeing just for the superb performances of a dynamic cast.

Rating: 10/10 (7 October 2006)

Suspense and acting at its best. DiCaprio, Nicholson and Sheen, Wahlberg and Damon all superb roles well played and well cast. This is one of Scorsese's finest pieces since Casino and a nice change, stylistically speaking, from his latest period pieces. The subtle foreshadowing and symbolism along with knockout punch action keep you wrangling in your seat in this latest criminal thriller. Just as soon as you think you've got it all figured out, another 180 degrees. The somewhat humorous at times plot is a true paradox of virtues and I don't just mean in the dialogue or the cast! You've gotta see it to believe it, because it is really a very entertaining movie.
