Good, not great

Rating: 7/10 (21 February 2007)

I just couldn't get over to what seems to me to be a truck-sized hole in the story line. If Sullivan was on tape with Costello's lawyer as being in the cahoots, how could Sullivan possibly think he was walking away from what he did to Nicholson, and then Costigan after he had already shown up in the office and had been seen by the entire staff?
Otherwise the film was all Scorcese, brings back memories of Casino and Goodfellas with the language. I've always thought Damon was a fine actor, the scenes were you could see the wheels turning in his head when trying to figure a way out were conveyed well. Nicholson as always was the scene stealer, and DiCaprio held his own with a Hollywood heavyweight.
Still can't get over the plot hole though. :(
