Emotional, Intense, and all around Amazing.

Rating: 10/10 (18 October 2006)

Late on Monday afternoon my friend had asked me if I would like to go see this movie. I had seen the previews and knew a little bit about the story and since the director was Martin Scorsese, I knew that my cage might be rattled a bit. I had no clue as to the roller coaster ride that would ensue. Right out of the gate the story catches you. (dont worry, no spoilers) Nicholson shines as you would expect as the dirtiest low down devil of a human being as any actor could hope to try for. DiCaprio and Damon have a synergy through total yin and yang. And to top it all off you have moles in the system. Where can the story bring you that hasn't already been done? That is for you to see. As the credits rolled, I stood up very slowly. My stomach hurt. I was pushed and pulled through emotions (the fun ones like fear, anger, anguish, etc.) that my head was a mess so my body reacted to it. When you can leave a theater and feel tension like that, the director correctly did his job. Scorsese nailed this one, and DiCaprio has done an even better job in character acting than in the Aviator. Oscars anyone?
