Excellent a must see movie

Rating: 10/10 (23 January 2007)

Both my wife and I were wrecked from nervous tension, the movie held you from beginning to end and can't say enough for di Caprio's acting, it is certainly his best yet as he moves into heavy weight roles and shows that he can handle them. The whole cast were really excellent and of course the director Martin Scorcesse scored an absolute triumph...can he ever top this one! The realism was gripping and you forgot that there was a camera crew filming because you were drawn into the action. No question a great movie and well deserves any awards going. One can really imagine the great stress of being an under-cover policeman and di Caprio drew us into his great torment by his psychiatrist sessions and pill taking. Ray Winstone was another classy piece of acting. I left Jack Nicolson until last because his acting is just head and shoulders above just about everybody in the business. This was a portrayal of a gangster supreme and did he love blood, he was so scary and someone you just don't want to meet because you never know which way he will turn!
