Hm! This looks great. I am curious to see Leo's acting in this thriller/suspense movie. It looks like a different project for him. Like one in which he has the opportunity to enhance his skills and grow into a mature, multiple genre actor. Cannot wait to see it.

God, this is fantastic. Really fantastic.

I'm wondering how closely it'll mirror the book. Although hallucinations are a great start...

"Im very interested in seeing him take on the potentially supernatural and/or psychological."

I was going to write almost the exact same thing. I am really looking forward to this movie.

The book was the shit. Dennis Lehane's best, in my opinion.

@Fure: You're silly.

Kangaroo Be Stoned · 5 months ago

Scorsese is awesome. That's an excellent trailer.

Also, could you make the ads 15 seconds instead of 30? It's annoying.

MrDeath · 5 months ago

God damn, this looks good.

Also Fure, I have to say I think DiCaprio is a solid actor. He's no Daniel Day-Lewis, but then again, who is?

RobertFure · 5 months ago

I guess Daniel Day-Lewis is. DiCaprio isn't a bad actor, but I think of late most of his characters have been pretty much a variation on the same theme. A great actor should be able to play any sort of role, rather than the same thing over and over again. Guys like Tom Cruise and Will Smith are cool and good actors - at playing the same character, which is the club Leo is working on joining.

Plus, as a person, Leo is pretty annoying.

Hm...I don't ordinarily like Leo (with a few exceptions)...but I'm really digging the trailer for this movie. It's certainly a departure from some of his prior works.

Shane · 5 months ago

DiCaprio is the most talented person his age. You can look at Brando and Newman and compare Leo to them at that age. Is he sometimes too pretty for the parts? Sure, but that diminishes his acting chops not one iota. Fure should reconsider his juvenile rant towards a great actor; possibly stop thinking of Titanic when he thinks of Leo. The man has a body of good work that most actors strive to achieve.

I wouldn't call Scorsese's love for Leo unhealthy at all. Great directors fall in love with great actors; it helps them to visualize their art; it provides the muse to generate creativity.

This film looks more than "fine", it looks like Scorsese is the best living American director; it looks like this film is everything a film should be: astounding acting, dynamic directing, enthusiastic editing and stellar screenwriting. I, for one, will be the first in line when this opens.

RobertFure · 5 months ago

Before you criticize my rant (can a rant be only 3 sentences long?) for being premature and immature, perhaps you should ask yourself how you can tel the film is all those things from a trailer? Astounding acting - based on your love of DiCaprio or what you saw? Dynamic directing - based on 2 minutes? Enthusiastic editing - based on a trailer that was edited by a trailer cutter and not the films editor? Stellar screening - again, based on a 2 minute clip?

Reality check - you're just me in a mirror, friend.

Aw, it's always sad to see a movie like this come out, in which I love everyone involved, yet have zero interest in seeing it.

Well Fure, looks like the majority wins this one. You're definitely outnumbered here.

helpme · 5 months ago

don't say that about tom.

Harry · 5 months ago

While you're all jerking off over Martin's pretty pictures I hear alarm bells. Why? Because there's practically nothing in the way of a story being related in that trailer. Let's be honest, Scorsese is not much of a storyteller at the best of times but this trailer is .. worrying, to say the least.

Frankly, it looks like another stiff from the Scorsese/DiCaprio team that brought us such shit as Gangs of New Yorkj, The Aviator & The Departed.

I think I might wait for this one to turn up on free tv.

RobertFure · 5 months ago

DiCaprio looks and sounds 13. Scorcese has an unhealthy love for him. Also, Leo can't do or maintain an accent, so he should quit trying. Movie looks fine, but I'm not into DiCaprio at all.

Michael · 5 months ago

You are seriously SO ridiculous! I don't understand how you got a job with this website (which is actually GOOD with the exception of you...) considering that you seem to be nothing but a cynical and negative critic of just about EVERYTHING!!! Dicaprio is one of the finest actors working today and Scorsese has a "love" for him because of it. If you have some frustrations with his accents watch The Departed and then Blood Diamond. It seems like you find pleasure in berating people who are more successful and talented than you are, which probably explains your general negative outlook on films and seemingly ALL actors. If you are going to be so constantly one sided about films and performances, maybe you should look for a new job because this one doesn't seem right for you.

Flyingportugueseman · 5 months ago

Amen! RobertFure I'm sorry to say this, but Michael just kicked your big fat ass!

RobertFure · 5 months ago

My ass is actually small and firm from years of squatting over films and releasing my opinion. ;)

RobertFure · 5 months ago

I'm a necessary evil. In my mind, too many critics are far too willing to just praise everything they think they should. I've given great reviews to many films (you know, films that deserve it) and praised many actors. I just don't care for DiCaprio and thought his accents in The Departed and Blood Diamond were also spotty.

Kangaroo Be Stoned · 5 months ago

A-fucking-men, at least to your comment about critics praising certain films because they think they should.

Anton · 5 months ago

I'd prefer Scorsese to find a new muse but I don't mind DiCaprio all that much, I can deal with him if the film is good but the 1 thing I have the most trouble with is his "accents". The man won't give it up! He just keeps trying to find that one accent that will stick.

This looks fantastic though, appears to stay true to the book.
