This is easily one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. Perfect blend of drama, suspense and action. The plot is excellent and the director added superb realism throughout the entire movie. I was pleasantly surprised at how well DiCaprio was able to play such an aggressive character. The lineup of actors in this movie is incredible and every one of them played their roles perfectly. This is an absolute must see...they don't make movies like this one anymore!!

Lots of bodies lots of blood. Goof adult movie with oh yes a little language. I read earlier someone turned it off after the third f*ck! Oh My really?! You rented a Martin Scorsese film , which should've been rated "r" if it wasn't. I found it hard to follow but I stuck with it and enjoyed the ending. Oh My! More bodies & blood!!!!!

This movie was good. I loved the Irish approach instead of the rehashed Italian movies of the genre. This movie did leave me with a lot of questions. There were so many loose ends!

Fantastic movie, you'd feel just about every emotion while watching it. Excellent directing, acting, camera angles, scene sequence, and drama for hours.

Sharp, fast-paced and damn near perfect. DiCarprio and Damon are perfectly cast, every moment a gem.

We liked this movie. The cast was exceptional, the story was good, and there were quite a few surprises. We were especially surprised at the ending, it was very unexpected.

This movie just feels like it's been made before. I just couldn't see sitting through it again. A lot of violence & bloodshed but that's what's expected. I just don't see why it's so highly acclaimed since it will not stand out as being memorable in my mind. I guess if you're a big fan of mobster/police drama movies it delivers, but there are many people who do like these types of movies and don't mind if it's so similar and non-memorable.

This is the second movie in a week we have turned off and sent back without watching because of the over use of the F word. But it didn't bother me to not see what happened because the movie simply didn't flow well and the plot was way out there. Definitely a movie for the simple minded loser!
