My 2 cents

Rating: Null/10 (10 October 2006)

It was a really good movie up until Leo got shot, that was just completely unnecessary IMO all it did was take the whole audience by surprise and from the sound of it, they didn't like it. It's as though he was too good to die like that and even though it was for dramatic purposes i felt Sheen's death was enough. Speaking of which, am i the only one who feels like we could've gotten more from a Sheen and Nicholson relationship like Pacino and DeNiro in heat? I also thought Wahlberg was grossly under used and although he came back in a big way he should've been around a lot more.
The death scene of Nicholson also left me feeling like it could've been a bit more engaging, maybe throw in Leo or something (might've been 2 on 1 but not if Wahlberg was around).
back to Leo's death, it was just too fast and cluttered. It's good when a movie blindsides you---think million dollar baby---but sometimes it's okay to show the good guy on top and his character was deserving of that.
Remakes are always being changed around and this could've benefited from a few of them.
