This really is an unexpected pleasure- Scorcese seemed to be coasting a little bit, Di Caprio has always seemed lightweight to me, Nicholson has turned to comedy. Yet everyone was at the top of their form...if this may not be Scorcese's best ever, it is close, same with Nicholson- and the leads, Di Caprio and Matt Damon are serious actors in a way I've never seen. From the intricacies of the plot (I never saw the original) to the visuals, to the expletive filled dialogue that sometimes rises to a sort of urban poetry, this long movie had me absorbed into its world. Yes, the ending is somewhat flat. But this is sure to be considered a classic.
