But I did not like the ending and I think the climax is a bit contrived for such a beautifully shot movie.
Leanaro as a tough guy, I thought he wont do justice but he pulled it off wonderfully well. And boy Jack nicholson was out of the world. I dint quite like matt damon's performance. Surely not his best but its by far Leanardo's best performance ever. I strongly recommend it to action lovers and scorsese lovers. But this movie is not scorsese's best, taxi driver and goodfellas were much better. And this movie was almost a film-noir :)
