Best American movie in a long time

Rating: 10/10 (9 October 2006)

Martin Scorsese was already a great America artist but what he has done here transcends mere movie-making and restores my faith in the ability of people today to make a masterpiece. Every week I go to the theater hoping to see a film that will blow me away, and it was getting to the point where I was really thinking that will never happen again. Thank you Mr. Scorsese for a truly great American film. Everything is almost perfect, great story telling, great acting, and great musical score. It's very telling when a crime drama, lased with violence and corruption, still manages to have more humor then most of the comedies produced today. The characters are so well developed and intense, that every scene, every piece of dialogue is mesmerizing. All set to some of the best backdrops ever seen on film. Oh, and one last thing, anyone who thinks that Jack's portrayal is over the top, doesn't have a clue. I have been around people like that and the one thing that comes to mind is that truth is stranger then fiction. All of the characters were spot on and if they offend your sensibility, maybe you should stick to TV.
