Everyone and their dog is calling this Marty's best film since Goodfellas. (What's The Aviator, chopped liver?)

I'm dying to see it like Islamic terrorists do 72 virgins. Any ideas/guesses when it'll come to the ROK?

Infernal Affairs was a great movie. Except for the let down ending (though I think the Chinese government is partly to blame for that).

Hope they fixed the ending.

Greasy overrated Di Caprio AND dopey Damon.

Marty......what's going on??!!Is securing funds that difficult that you have to resort to this kind of casting?

Nicholson,OK.

Inffernal Affairs is really great. I'm usually adverse to western remakes of East Asian films, being able to, you know, read, but Scorces' pretty great, even if his more recent flicks haven't moved the earth.
DiCapprio was pretty brilliant in The Aviaitor, no cause for concern for me. And whats with the racism rothkowitz. Doesn't add anything.

mmkay.

Still,I've never been able to abide di Caprio.Gilbert Grape,Titanic....why do people suddenly make like he's an actor now?

Marty has become a Hollywood wh_ore.

Article in the guardian.co.uk ,with Marty likening DiCaprio to DeNiro in the 70s and 80s.

I will deliberately avoid this film now.

Gilbert Grape was a excellent performance, but the boys no heyday DeNiro. He's too effete to ever achieve the gravitas that DeNiro could produce before he started doing the paycheck BS he does today.

I remember DiCaprio when he was on that family sitcom as a kid..

He was pretty good in the Aviator. My only problem with the dude is that he doesn't fit the image of a leading man very well. He looks soft and doesn't have the manly presence of a DeNiro, Pacino, or even a guy like Christian Bale.

I won't argue with that... Leonardo does really well cast in the roles that suit him. Tough and hard boiled leading man are not roles that suit him.
I almost laughed out loud seeing Leo doing a prison work out a'la DeNiro's Cape Fear, in the trailer for The Departed. DeNiro scares the bejeesus out of you, Leo makes you giggle and want to play "totally uncalled for" with him.
