Fim of 2006

Rating: 10/10 (31 March 2008)

I loved every moment of this film from start to finish. I mean its superbly written and lets face it with a cast like that and a great director it was bound for greatness
Since "mob films" are generally one of my favorite genres i have seen a lot of them. Obviously the greats like "Goodfella's, Pulp Fiction and Donnie Brasco" but i have to say that this film was refreshing to watch. I think this is partially because of Leonardo Dicaprio. What an amazing performance, for me it was worthy of an Oscar. I've always regarded him as a great actor but this just solidified it for me. The way that both him and Damon played each other out throughout the film was brilliant. Always trying to out do each other but they had no idea what so ever, excellent! and i suppose thats down to the writer for the intertwined twists involved in the plot but i don't think that any other actors would have played these roles anywhere near as convincing as they did.
For me this was the movie of 2006 i throughly enjoyed every bit of it and was greatly pleased with the end credits thinking WOW!
