Title: Tough and Uncompromised.
Review: Martin Scorcese takes an A-List cast and a very tough story about dual moles (DiCaprio and Damon) in the Boston police department, one trying to take down Irish mobster Frank Costello (Nicholson) the other protecting him.First rate in all departments, I really don't want to say more about this movie and I certainly hope no one spoils it for you. Gritty, profane, violent, full of gallows humor and uncompromising in its depiction of moral ambiguity. A very adult story full of contradiction and complexity and a raw-nerve tension.A superb film that may not be wildly popular with a general audience but is welcome work for those who are ready for a savage and un-Hollywoodized tale of cops and gangsters and corruption. Tough stuff but well worth it.
