You know us and the mob–there wasn’t any way we weren’t going to like this movie. They did that thing I hate where they say the name of the movie as one of the lines just so you know why they named it that, but this was pretty subtle, so I’ll forgive them. This time. The ending was somewhat reminiscent of Reservoir Dogs (and that’s a good thing). This movie starred some heavy hitters: Jack Nicholson, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Matt Damon. I’ve always loved Nicholson. I’m really starting to like DiCaprio. Matt Damon is so-so. It seems like he’s always playing the same character. He plays it well, but all of his performances remind me of each other. Mark Wahlberg was in this, too. I think he’s pretty darned good, too, but I don’t know that you could classify him as a heavy hitter.
Anyway, this movie was great. If you’re into that sort of thing (great movies), then you’ll like this one.
