Wrote this review in 2007. (Oct 2006 Director: Martin Scorsese) The subject is loyalties, corruption, mob life. Scorsese won his Oscar Oscars too & Best Director and Best Picture. Wonderful cast....interesting story set in Boston (good accents)....Sort of a fun tale of local corruption casting the wonderful Jack Nicholson as the Kingpen!
This movie was released prior to American Gangster. I say that because these are LOCAL mob stories...(this one set in Boston).
Matt Damon & Leonard Dicaprio at some points in this film I could hardly tell apart!So I watched it again! They had distinct characters. Their acting is that intense. Martin Sheen & Mark Wahlberg were great in heading up the undercover dept.
