Best Film of the Year

Rating: 10/10 (7 November 2006)

Wow! Best Film this year. Scorsese has matched a terrific cast and a great story and pieced together a masterpiece. In the deluge of mush touring American theaters in 2006 appeared this diamond. Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio are outstanding in the leading roles. The best performance of their careers. Jack Nicholson should win the Oscar for his role as an Irish godfather. The supporting cast of Alec Baldwin, Martin Sheen, Ray Winstone and Mark Wahlberg were excellent. Vera Farmiga is terrific as a psychiatrist torn between the "nice guy" and the "bad boy". Be warned, like any Scorsese film, violence is explicit and disturbing.
