Good Faahking Movie!

Rating: 9/10 (22 October 2006)

Phewy, we got a movie here. You have a star-studded cast, big named director, more swears than Goodfellas (kidding), some great violence...what a good flick.
This movie is about the involvement of "rats" in Boston police and Boston Irish mafia. Like I said before, almost everyone in the movie is a big name....so they are all willing to display their best acting. Unbelievably everyone brings it. Fantastic acting. Jack Nicholson and Mark Wahlberg were my favorites in this one.
The story itself is great also. Taking the story from a Chinese movie called Infernal Affairs, but mixing in Boston Irish Mob history.
The movie is pretty long, but what do you expect from Scorcese. Gangs of New York went on forever...thank God for Daniel Day Lewis. But I only say this due to the fact my knees hurt, and I need to stretch them every so often. Forgetting that, the movie moves at a pretty fast clip.
It's flat out one of the best crime movies ever made, and definitely one of the best movies this year. I would say this and Flags of Our Father are the top two. If you like smart, gritty, well acted flicks you'll most likely love this baby.
