This movie is now out on DVD. This movie is rated 'R' for strong brutal violence, pervasive language, some strong sexual content and drug material. It stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, and Jack Nicholson.
All of these stars deliver great performances in a plot line filled with suspense and unexpected twists. The basic plot of the movie is the police trying to take down a mafia crime boss. They attempt to do this via under cover officers inside the mafia.. only to find out that they them selves have an undercover mafia agent inside the police special crimes unit. Thus an interesting game of cat and mouse(or rat) ensues. I personally found this movie very entertaining and really didn't want it to end.. but at the same time wanted to hurry up and find out what was going to happen... Although some of the plot can be predictable. I found most of it to be suspenseful and at some points I found myself thinking no way, didnt see that coming.
I give this film a 10 in my book.

I haven't seen it yet, but have it rented on DVD right now. It looked really good, I never got a chance to see it in theatres.
I'll write a follow-up review once I see it. Personally don't see how you can go wrong with it. Jack, Leo and Matt in front of the camera and Marty behind it. Seems like a knock-out combo.

Intriguing action thriller yeah ... my kind of movie. Throughout the entire movie the suspense was killing me. Martin Scorsese has in my opinion always directed great movies like Goodfellas, Gangs of New York and Casino just to name a few of my favorites. This one is one of his greatest and I think that it will be another classics that will be enjoyed for years to come. If you haven't seen it yet ... what are you waiting for?

One of the top 3 Gangsta movies I have ever seen. Guess what. Casino, Departed, Goodfellas. Those are my top 3. Go Marty!. The ending blew me away.

I thought it was good... not great and possibly not worth best film, but good nonetheless. The acting was its best attribute. The cast was an all-star line up with no bad acting jobs.
The story was good to begin with, but toward the middle and end, I found myself focusing on trying to keep the story straight instead of watching the film. The editing wasn't good and even shoddy at times, and plus, there were a lot of continuity errors that could have been easily fixed. It also could have been 15-20 minutes shorter by cutting some of the repetitiveness out of the middle.
A good movie, but I can't give it the dime.

Ouch! And I thought I didn't like it that much... lol It's not bad.... I mean I watched it again to see the whole thing and I wasn't impressed. Plus I understand the movie having an ending where (dont want to spoil), but it wasn't planned good enough. Like right when Leo gets off the elevator a chain reaction fires up but it's a really lamely short one. I think Leo's character shoulda moved on to just getting back to his own normal life.

I am not normally a big fan of Damon or DiCaprio but this is a must see. I enjoyed it.
