Very strong premise, it entertains all the way through despite being more interested in the surface than anything else. Scorsese doesn’t challenge the viewer intellectually here, this is more of a movie that relies on twists, tension and character. It moves very well, it might just be Scorsese’s fastest film and there’s not a single dull moment because of that. Damon and DiCaprio are excellent, but it’s really Wahlberg who surprisingly ends up stealing the whole movie. It’s unpredictable, the camerawork is purposeful, the writing’s great and it’s filled with memorable scenes. I only have some minor problems with some of the editing, e.g. some of the fast edits and repurposed exposition inserts aren’t that elegantly done. It’s almost negligible, but they’re odd choices, especially coming from the maestro.
