Something missing

Rating: 8/10 (12 February 2007)

This movie has the ingredients to be an all-time great, no question about that. But for me it hasn't achieved that status. Performances, simply magnificent, Di Caprio - his best ever, Matt Damon - his best since good will hunting, Nicholson - brilliant, Wahlberg, Baldwin, and martin sheen, all good. In a Scorsese picture, wow!! u would say. I've seen it twice now and in all honesty I did not enjoy it even half as much as i did "pulp fiction", "the usual suspects", " shawshank redemption", "heat", "the godfathers" and some more all time greats. Although i can't really say what it is which this movie is missing, there must be something...
