It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Set in Boston, Massachusetts, the story follows two main perspective moles operating undercover. One for the police and the other for the Mafia.

She had to love her character! I loved her character as I imagined myself being her character! Cheesy, I know. I'm way late to the board but, THIS MOVIE KILLED IT! All (sexy) star cast, banging Scorsese director and the creative Monohan writer. Movies like this make me sit up late at night regretting never going to LA. I watch these talented artists, thinking what if I would have said yes after being approached by a certain director. It sounded to good to be true. Until I realized it was real and not a creepy guy. At least I get to watch these amazing films from my spot in Independence, KY. EVERYONE should be so proud of themselves for creating this masterpiece! -Julz

When I saw this movie-great movie-back in 2006 when I lived in Washington DC and attended the George Washington University; I watched it with an African American Woman who was a fellow college student. I loved the movie-one of the best Boston movies behind Live By Night featuring Ben Affleck. The first thing my buddy Alexandria said about the movie was this: " I love-sarcastically-how the only Black Woman feature in the film was a whore"! I never thought about it until I saw the movie again that she was right. There were very few Black Woman features in this movie but the only main one featured Jack Nicholson and a Black Prostitute in the theater. What is up with that?

If you read my reviews of The Wolf of Wall Street or Casino, you know I have issues with the director's profane films. This is my one exception for perfection. Despite over 250 uses of the F word, this is a masterpiece! It is Martin's only film to win Best Picture! Also, Richard Roeper called it 2006's best movie!( I would put Pan's Labyrinth first). There is actually a story under the swearing and it is indeed a fantastic one!
