Ladies and Gentlemen I give you Mr. Scorsese's first BEST DIRECTOR WIN, excellent on every caliber, the best movie of the year

Rating: 10/10 (6 October 2006)

Wow, I have always been a big Scorsese fan with "Raging Bull" to "Goodfellas" and even "The Aviator". And he still holds his place as one of the best directors, just hearing his name will get me to see a movie. And this is without a doubt one of the five best movies he's ever made ("Goodfellas", "Bull", "Taxi Driver" and "Casino" being the others I.M.O). Again teaming with DiCaprio for the third time along with screen legends Nicholson and Sheen who are both great (especially Jack). I'll spare you the whole complicated story line because it is just too long to explain but it is a brilliant, well crafted and stunning piece of americana. Scorsese is in top notch form and deserves the damn Oscar already, the best movie I have seen all year long. I loved "The Departed" - ****
