Finally...the Scorcese I like

Rating: 9/10 (19 October 2006)

What can I say about this movie? Well for starters I haven't watched anything that stands less than a mile from this movie for quite some time. Scorcese is back with a vengeance and for all those people who loved Casino and Goodfellas, I have three words for you: watch it NOW!! Scorcese somewhat deviated slightly from the habitual Italian mafia movie style in the sense that the film is based on the Irish organised crime in Boston. Having said that, mafia is always mafia and if you're turned on by ruthless killings, major drug deals and gangster etiquette, this is the right film for you.
The story line is very gripping and the ending gives credit to its master mind. I expected something more when it came to the dialogues between characters, however that's just me wishing that De Niro was part of the crew...everything else is just perfect.
