Just got back from seeing this film with Jack Nicholson, Matt Damon, Leonardo DiCaprio, Martin Sheen, Mark Wahlberg and others in it. First of all we saw it in a new theater, the director’s theater which had high-back leather seats, movable arms for more couch-like seating, assigned seating, and waiters who brought us wonderful snacks. Oh yeah, and it was $9.25 for the 12:30 showing 😮 But a fun experience anyway. It’s a good, really good cop/mafia/spys-in-each-organization type movie. Not for the squeamish or prude, however. Don’t know that it’s one that is enhanced by big-screen viewing, but it was good. If Jack Nicholson gives you the creeps, you’ll like it. If you like seeing Leonardo DiCaprio vulnerable, you’ll like it. He looked like he was about to cry throughout most of the film, except when he went off on various characters. If you use your cell phone alot, especially texting, you’ll appreciate the movie. So if these types of movies are for you – it’s an enjoyable way to spend the afternoon.
Here’s the official website for more info. And, by the way, IMDB gives it 8.6 – pretty good score.

I watched it on DVD and was glad that my 14-year old son wasn’t, because there is a lot of vulgar language in that film. But overall, I must say it’s a good mafia-type flick. It’s the usual crime does not pay type of thing, especially with corrupt police officers. Jack Nicholson is still in his prime. Matt Damon doing a bad guy role-now that’s a change. I give it an 8 out of 10.

Mama says it’s good.
