The best in a while...

Rating: 10/10 (11 October 2006)

The last time I remember being this satisfied sitting in a movie theater was when I saw Mystic River. This great cast definitely lived up to my expectations. DiCaprio was stellar in every aspect of his performance, which was most likely not very easy when you are next to Nicholson. Walberg has once again separated himself from his previous years of underwear modeling, he is not just a pretty face. Damon was an unexpected choice for the rat but he pulled it off beautifully. Sheen was absolutely excellent, he played a great father character to DiCaprio. Even Baldwin who wasn't a huge role but made sure that you left remembering his performance. Of course Jack was off the charts oozing with sleaziness, but you can't help but still like the guy, he's that bad guy that everyone feared and loved in school. The dialogue was great and the nearly two and a half hours flew by and left me wanting more.
