Review

gets a little less interesting each time i watch it which is unfortunate. a little slow at times. like shutter island, though, it has a great ending that helps its cause. one scene that i really liked this time around is the scene where dicaprio is getting recruited by wahlberg and sheen to do the undercover work. the camera moves left to right throughout the scene and scorsese cuts on movement. it has a dizzying effect which is probably how dicaprio felt being told that he’ll never be a cop in the traditional sense, but he could be useful by acting like a criminal – the very thing he was trying to escape in the first place.
