Now I have to watch the original: Inferno Affairs.

This is by far my new most favourite movie! Im really surprised at the ating job Leonardo Dicarprio did. He's really matured as an actor since Titanic.
All the actors were so good.

Has anyone else seen this movie? I'm surprised there hasn't been a thread started on it yet.

Scorscase(sp?) for the win!

I agree the movie is a masterpiece.
I also agree that it's one of those movies that stays with you afterwards...I love those kinds of movies!

Great film! I didn't expect much of a performance from Dicaprio but he plays a great part. Alot better than I expected!:thumbsup:

Peace

I saw that movie high

It took me 3/4 of it to understand the plot and who was who and what was going on but in the end i got it

i also downloaded it and watched it a couple of times over

great movie though

ya this movie is AWESOME,,, jack is fuckin great, anything with jack is good in my mind

Excellent film with some great performances ( especially Dicaprio's he was awesome ) but the worst American accent i've heard in a long time by Ray Winstone .

Caught this the other day. I also thought it was VERY good, almost tempted to say Scorsese's best film, certainly much better that that Aviator crap. Scorsese really knows how to bring the best out in people, Di Caprio did a fine job, as did Matt Damon. Nicholson gave the performance of a lifetime and I was also very impressed with Mark Wahlberg, David O'Hara and Vera Farmiga. Now there's a film that puts Tarantino in his place. The only thing I can fault it on is perhaps its cuts too quickly between scenes, but I guess that is to help fit the whole plot, which is very complex, into a cinematic form. Nice to see a gangster film where every isn't speaking like italian mafioso.10/10

I thought a lot of the accents were deliberately like that, to give the impression of Irish/english/scots ex-pats living over there. I think it really added a great sinister aura to some of the characters that made the film all the more vivid and frightening. I have a few relatives (so-called) and acquiantances from scotland who live over there and they have similarly bad america accents.
I thought Winstone was terrific in it, best performance I've seen by him.

very good movie i give it :thumbsup::thumbsup:
