Is this one of the near perfect films of our generation?


Everything about this film was great, the cast, the acting, the plot (I know it's a remake), the directing, the score. When I look back at the classics that my father and mother watched, and which they then influenced me to watch. This is one of the films I can look on a few years and influence my kids to watch.

I am 14 and this along with Inception are one of my favorite movies, they have something other film do not. These are perfect modern movies.

It has aged well and stands many replays. One of Scorcese's most engaging movies overall.

See you in hell, candy boys!

I agree. It is a masterpiece and one of the best Scorsese films.

It never ceases to be entertaining and thrilling. Even though you know what happens, it just infects you with those thrills. The acting is brilliant by everyone, especially Nicholson, Di Caprio and Damon (who was really underrated in this).

I just watched it again and think it's good but far from perfect, I could pick it apart like crazy but it doesn't matter.
