I’ll start of by saying that was insane. I was expecting great things from the legendary Scorsese and I was not disappointed. Scorsese’s use of short dramatic scenes was perfect for the unpredictable nature of the plot. Unpredictable is the perfect word. I had no idea what was going to happen at any point and kept me guessing right up to the end. Then we come to the star studded cast who in my opinion were just right for the characters they portrayed. The stand out performers were (predictably) DiCaprio and Nicholson who as usual you couldn’t take your eyes off for a second. Mark Wahlberg’s performance was surprisingly entertaining and good quality as I am used to seeing him in light hearted comedies but he brought just the right amount of his signature humour and attitude to the part. If I had one criticism despite the short scenes being very effective in terms of unpredictability it also reduced the screen time of some of the more minor characters that I would have liked to seen developed. Overall it was another hit from the king of gang films and the ending is mind blowing. A must watch 9/10
