Excellent in all respects

Rating: 10/10 (8 October 2006)

It has been a long time since I have seen such an excellent movie. I would rate it up there with Godfather. The plot was definitely NOT formulaic. There was no way to predict the outcome. The acting was superb. It would be hard to pick a best actor from this all-star ensemble cast. Jack Nicholson was fabulous, Leonard DeCaprio gave the performance of his lifetime and Mark Wahlberg was incredible. The movie gripped you from the very beginning and would not let you go. Even the violence, which I usually abhor, was necessary to the story. The movie was so good that I do not want to give away one little bit about it because I want everyone to experience it as I did. This movie will definitely sweep the academy awards. Enjoy!
