This was... AWESOME

Rating: 10/10 (7 October 2006)

Whoa. What an experience.
Crisp direction heads this wonderfully written film, with tid bits of humor scattered throughout (and, fortunately, it helps make the movie, rather than subtract from it). Other moments are tense, exhausting, absorbing... Very well-written.
Acting is also top-notch. I could see any one of many actors from The Departed being nominated for an Academy Award. DiCaprio and Nicholson are especially great here, giving some of the best performances of their careers. Gotta mention Wahlburg, too--he's a lot of fun to watch.
Note that the film has quite a bit of profanity and a decent amount of violence. Still, I'd strongly encourage you to not let this deter you. The experience is completely and utterly worth it.
SEE THIS FILM!
