A Little Long, but Great Cast and Screenplay

Rating: 8/10 (7 October 2006)

Really liked this movie: the cast and acting was superb! Leonardo DiCaprio has matured as an actor and excelled in this movie, as did Matt Damon. Screenplay was witty and well crafted. Although fast moving and a bit too long, the fairly complex plot was not too difficult to follow.
Jack Nicholson was brilliant in his role as a decrepit, corrupt, aging gangster. He was intense and his line delivery made the audience uncomfortable, with inappropriate giggles and laughter from them at his creepy delivery of lines especially when he didn't believe the information his underlings/thugs were conveying him: "Who was the undercover cop among them?" A mole among the underworld....
Further, the plot thickened: "Who was the mole within the police/FBI?"
In total, this is one of the better films in this sparse movie-year.
