*****SPOILERS***** *****SPOILERS***** *****SPOILERS***** I am struggling with this one. Is it my number one or is it number two? I love this movie so freaking much. I don't know why I now have 3 gang movies in my top five but I do now. I didn't know Scorcesse did this movie until the end credits. Had I known I would have been even more biased toward it. I was already extremely biased at the start because I absolutely love the cast. Mark Wahlberg is my favorite all-time actor because he is the narrator of my rosary on my rosary app. That is why I liked the ending so much. Actually I don't think I liked it. I am going to say that this is the single best ending I have ever seen in cinema. Everyone dies! And Mark Whalberg wins! The plot was a tad bit hard to follow. I figured it out in the end but I was confused for a time. I really liked how the stories were separate from each other until the end. I think the flip phones were perfect. I know that that was the best tech, but that aspect was perfect for the film because of everything that they brought to it. It was small things. Sulivan texting in his pocket, no caller ID, and the loud ringer that messes Costigan up. I also loved how Jack Nicholson and Lianardo Dicapprio played their characters. They did them perfectly. The lighting was very good. I really liked how there was a significant contrast between the lighting of the two stories. The soundtrack was great too. It felt like there was always something playing in the background, but it worked because it was being played in the actual scene itself. Overall, another great Scorcese movie. Loved it so much. Can't decide whether it should be number 1,2, or 3. I am leaning towards 1. 9.9999/10 Ok, I have decided, it's 1.
