The master of crime movies is back!!

Rating: 10/10 (3 April 2007)

When I heard that Martin Scorsese was making a new movie I didn't know what to think. He had made some superb movies such as Goodfellas, Raging Bull and Casino but recently he had made the Aviator which i thought was OK but nothing special. Also the fact that Leonardo DiCaprio was starring in it made me think that it wouldn't be all that great either as i had only seen 2 movies in which i thought he was good (Gangs of New York and the Beach). But then i heard the rest of the cast (Jack Nicholson..come on!!) and the plot (an urban crime saga) and i thought that Martin may very well make another classic. When the trailer came out i was blown away and couldn't wait to see. When i finally did get that chance i thought it was cinematic genius. a not too complicated storyline, great acting, well known actors and edge of your seat suspense. I'm not sure if this is as good as Goodfellas but Jesus Christ its as close as we'll ever get to ANY film topping Goodfellas....The master of crime movies is back!!
