The Ingenious Martin Scorsese does it again

Rating: 10/10 (9 January 2014)

Another brilliant piece of work from one of my favourite directors Mr. Martin Scrosese. Even a good 3-hour long movie usually goes soft for a short while and honestly that was my only concern before watching this. But, man oh man what a kick ass movie. From the very first scene right till the end it keeps up the energy off the roof. Each and every scene is fueled with some nicely delivered dialogues and natural improvisation. I read some reviews regarding the authenticity of the story but come on, its the story-telling and the acting that simply washes away all these bullshit criticism.
We all know what an amazing actor Di Caprio is and he simply makes it an understatement with his performance throughout the film especially some his drug sequences. Besides Leonardo, i would like to raise my hat to Jonah Hill, Simply impeccable. He proved his prowess in Moneyball and this time around he just amplified it 10 times.
All in all it's my favourite from 2013 and definitely earns its status besides the greats of Goodfellas & Casino. Mr. Scorsese with all his experience and creative powers makes it that that good and the awesome acting Di Caprio and Hill makes it a mouth-watering experience. Although i don't expect The Academy to recognize pure gems like these.
Without a doubt 10/10.
