Screams Oscar!

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2006)

Extraordinary performances from the absolute best cast of 2006.
A character driven maelstrom.
Amazingly fluid, visceral, gripping,powerful, real, honest
Has it received too much praise?
No. For my money, and without a doubt, the best character driven movie of 2006.
Why? Because I simply go to the dark heart of the human condition, betrayal, trust, loyalty, honor, dishonor, and the nature of each and in that it leaves the herd behind.
Wahlberg (awesome), Sheen, Baldwin, Damon, Di Caprio, and Nicholson (just forgivable grandiose) ARE real - even when the situations seem overblown. An immense feeling of absolute immersion that moves it from another film to something better.
Impossible to imitate: though many will try. Topping this should be interesting Marty!
