Yay! Another Leo Movie to See!

Rating: 10/10 (7 October 2006)

I am surprised I liked this movie as much as I did. Well, I thought it was very well written, and funny--badly funny, like why am I laughing at jokes like this kind of funny, because it's such a dark movie.
When I found out that Leonardo DiCaprio was going to be working with Jack Nicholson I was so happy for him. I figured he would be excited at the chance, so I was excited for him. He held his own and he has a lot to be proud of, but why wouldn't he do well? He's one of the few talented actors out there worth paying $9.75 to see.
When I saw that Mark Wahlberg was in this movie, with Leonardo DiCaprio, all I was thinking of was the movie Basketball Diaries. They haven't worked together since then. I was pleasantly surprised to see the two working together again.
If you can call this a spoiler to the movie, here it is: The movie is very violent and bloody, but that's Martin Scorsese for you--it's not like I went in expecting Mary Had a Little Lamb or anything. If you see this movie, just remember, it's not for the faint of heart. At nearly the end of the movie, I gasped and put my hand up to my face, but there were a lot of times I could have done the same thing.
