Excellent Mob Movie! Scorsese is Back!

Rating: 10/10 (21 October 2006)

After walking out of the theater today I realized why movies are made. Movies aren't just made for money, but for our entertainment. This so far happens to be one of the better mob movies. Superb acting, and an excellent story.
Leonardo Dicaprio plays Billy Costigan, an undercover cop known only to Cpt. Queenan and Dignam (played by Martin Sheen and Mark Wahlberg) who is investigating Frank Costello who is played by your truly Jack Nicholson. Unfortunately for Boston Police, they have a rat in their department too. Colin Sullivan played by Matt Damon who has been with Costellob since he was a young boy is a detective in the police department and tips Costello when every raid will take place. When both the Mob and the Cops find out they have rats, it becomes a game of trust.
With smart-mouth comments and excellent storytelling the movie goes from normal and smartly told to suspenseful and an excellent storyline. I highly recommend this movie. Mr. Scorsese, WELCOME BACK!
