This clever double agent complex thriller
is about undercover cops and criminal moles.
They have assembled a great cast of actors,
like Matt Damon, DiCaprio, and an outrageous performance by Jack
Nicholson, who I thought stole the show.
The movie has clever twists and turns with
a neat love triangle, but remains more a man's movie in every
way.
It's fun and certainly funny at times,
and one of my best pictures of the year. |
A great cast, good script and masterful
direction highlight this modern-day crime drama set on the mean
streets of Boston.
It's a film about family, betrayal and
blood ties that has more twists than a Chubby Checker dance marathon.
But it's Jack Nicholson's Frank Costello
that really make this one work, with an underplayed over-the-top
performance that will have you both laughing and cringing in
fear. |
This moody violent Boston crime story is
full of energy, featuring all-star great actors sinking their
teeth into the meatiest of roles and a plot that bubbles with
tension.
The movie is about an undercover cop who
infiltrates the mob and a gangster who penetrates the police.
It's a completely mixed-up puzzle and becomes
a guessing game of cat and mouse as heads get knocked around
as each hunts down his rival. |
