Amazing Movie

Rating: 7/10 (6 July 2015)

Martin Scorsese is put on this earth to make such movies.
The casting and acting in general is "something". From Jack Nicholson, playing his amazing self, to Matt Damon, I'm always in control, just ... perfect. Trust me this deserves his own point, Leonardo DiCaprio. I'm not gay but I've got a man crush on him. You couldn't avert your eyes from his performance, even if you tried. As far as directing is concerned, while this is not the best movie Scorsese ever maid, for me the honor belongs to Goodfellas, it is a really close call. Why then only 7 out of 10 stars. This movie is a remake out of Infernal Affairs. In its own right an amazing movie even with the cultural barrier, being an foreign movie. But with the talent involved it is a little bit sad to only create a new version instead of something original. That being said, this movie will grab your attention and never let go for 2,5 hours. Quite the accomplishment given the usual average movie length. I recommend this movie to not only the thriller genre fans, but to everybody who is not afraid of violence in movies. You will be glued to your seat.
