Good Movie.

  • Bang For The Buck
Pros:Nicholson at his best, as usual. Unpredictable plot.
Cons:Language and Violence if your worried about those things.
The Bottom Line: Go see it. For entertainments sake.

This film was great. Jack Nicholson performed incredibly well, playing the villain, he's good at that.

Leonardo DiCaprio performed great as well, his character, in ways, reminded me of his early work in a few episodes of the television series Growing Pains. He plays an undercover cop that came from a family of criminals. He does an amazing job of portraying all the mixed emotions and stress that would be involved as a man in those shoes.

Mark Wahlberg was also quite amazing, he plays a tough cop with attitude, a type of character you don't see him playing every movie and it goes to show how talented and diverse of an actor he really is.

Matt Damon performed the worst out of all of them but in saying that he still did pretty damn good, he's had better performances that's for sure. He plays a crooked cop.

Definitely not a chick flick, but every wife or girlfriend should do their man a favor and take them to see this movie. You'll get some lovin afterwards, i promise. Even with it's long play time, there's never a boring moment. Bang for buck is there. Action and unpredictability are of abundance. This movie has a good plot, it's well written, and has an all star cast that brings it home.
