Title: Mostly awful bloody violence, not much plot
Review: This film had the makings of a great flick: a fabulous cast, great acting, and a terrific initial setup: You have DiCaprio as a mole for the police infiltrating the Mafia, and Damon as a mole for the Mafia infiltrating the police. But there's no character development, and the plot is weak, overly complicated, confused, and lacking in resolution.Worst of all, this film is horribly violent. I walked out of the theatre feeling like I needed an exorcism and a valium. Hey, Scorsese, if you're going to assault your audience with all that gore, at least give us the payoff of character development and a well-crafted, interesting plot and conclusion.
