Martin Scorsese's masterpiece keeps you guessing who are the true good guys and bad guys in your life

Rating: 9/10 (20 March 2007)

Long before this very-deserving action/mafia picture received the lucrative Best Picture award at the 2007 Oscars, it had a well reserved place within my top 100 of the decade. Mirroring real life, Martin Scorsese's masterpiece keeps you guessing who are the true good guys and bad guys in your life.
Underneath the endless clichés that could be told about who to put your trust on, the film also works as a character study, with powerhouse performances by lead actors Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon, the surprisingly talented Vera Farmiga (who hands out a steaming hot performance as the female interest) and the always superb Mark Wahlberg, who manages to say the word "f**k" countless time in less than a minute  and still run away with an Academy Award nomination. Incredible.
