spectacular film, perfect writing and acting!

Rating: 10/10 (19 October 2006)

It takes an extraordinary movie to lead me to commend on IMDb about it. This is film work at its finest. Leo is as good as it gets between his performances in Gangs of New York and this. The writing (apparently it is based on another film called Internal Affairs) was amazing making us strain to understand every little nuance that is occurring (but in a good way). Spectacular everything. I will be very upset (and surprised) if this doesn't win best picture and director this year. (Although I have no real feel for which of the leads, Damon or Leo, will get a best actor nomination....I'm hoping its Leo.) At 2 and 1/2 hours, it was not one minute too long. Amazing!
