Rating: 10/10 (14 October 2006)

Stars: Leo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, Mark Wahlberg, Martin Sheen, Alec Baldwin, Vera Farmiga, Anthony Anderson.
This is one of those rare movies that have your full attention from the beginning to the very end. Everything about this movie was just perfect. The performances were all excellent, with Dicaprio giving his most grown up and best performance. Matt Damon was great. And as always Jack Nicholson was crazy and great as the mob boss. The plot of the film is that the police in Boston are trying to take down crime boss Francis (Nicholson). There's a henchman of his that's a rat for the cops (DiCaprio) and there's a policeman that's a rat for the mob (Damon). In other reviews of this I've read how much everyone loved Matt Damon's performance, but I have to say, I actually thought Leonardo was even better. And Matt Damon was still excellent. Every single moment of this movie just screams at you, "BEST PICTURE!!!!", and I have to say it deserves it. This was truly a cinematic masterpiece!!!
My rating: ****/****. 147 mins. rated R for Strong Violence, Language and Drug Use.
