Review:  This film is one of the easiest movies for me to get to review. All you need to mention is two words: Martin Scorsese. Scorsese, arguably the most prolific film maker delivers a power house of a dramatic masterpiece. The film has an amazing plot that is constantly moving forward as you follow two seemingly separate characters who's lives have been entwined within each others because of their connections to Crime Boss Frank Costello. Constant plot twists & turns taking you inside the world of the battle between Crime & Police. I thought DiCaprio, Damon & Nicholson all had amazing performances that didn't garnered Oscar nominations (however DiCaprio was nominated for Blood Diamond) however the film did win Best Picture & Best Director. Seriously, I'm pretty sure that if you saw a trailer for a movie about a group of space monkeys, who could only speak German, who land on earth to breed with toasters & thought, wow what a piece of crap. And then at the end of the trailer "Directed By Martin Scorsese" your response would change to "I NEED TO SEE THIS" (OK we'll maybe not) but my point is that Scorsese always delivers amazing films that grab the audience & never lose their attention. I Love This Film!
