Went to see this Friday night and for all those aged 18+ I recommend you see this film. Absolutely superb. Jack Nicholson plays possibly the coolest villain in the history of film.

Basically it's a movie about gangsters and cops infiltrating one another and how the characters deal with some of the utterly messed up situations that arise from the shenanigans on both sides.

The acting's great, dialogue's great and the plot's tightly written with a few surprises you won't see coming. It's violent, lots of bad language but it fits the mood of the movie.

See it!

Saw it last night and it's every bit as good as you all said if not better. Dicaprio is really good in it.
