Makes other movies look bad

Rating: 10/10 (3 November 2006)

The thing with Scorsese films is that each time you watch one of his movies, you pick up something new. I loved this movie, entertaining and so well acted, and fun - funny to say in a movie where most of the major (SPOILER!!!) characters are killed off, but the fun is in watching people like Nicholson, DiCaprio, Damon, Baldwin and Walhberg in the same flick at the top of their game. Everyone was excellent but kudos esp. to DiCaprio - mesmerizing and heartbreaking. Recommend highly but don't go if your taste runs to the typical Hollywood pap.It requires the viewer to think; the storyline may appear simple but there are so many sub-layers to the characters and their relationships. An added plus is the soundtrack, not just the usual Rolling Stone songs that Scorsese loves but also the original instrumental music.
