...and agree completely - it was terrific.
Scorcese and Dicaprio were at the top of their games.
I read Lehane's book a few weeks ago and the plot really surprised me.
The film was a very masterful recreation of the book, characacters, scenery, images and all. It was just the way I'd imagined his descriptions.
Knowing what was coming, I noticed a lot of the looks he got and other things that would be a tip-off, like when he was questionning the inmates.
The only negative for me was the loud, ominous music at the beginning and perhaps one or two other times later in the film.
Too bad it's coming out now - I think it should be up for Oscars next year.
