Boneloads of greasy meat slathered in a fiery hot sauce - not what you'd expect to be the Best Picture of 2006. But here it is, in all of it's grimy glory - a bloody romp through the streets of Boston, as two rats try to sniff each other out. Leo DiCaprio, doing some of his best work ever, is especially good as the good undercover cop working with the mob mastermind Jack Nicholson, operating here in Atomic Hot Sauce mode. Jack has his own mole, too - in Matt Damon, who, in comparison to the rest of the salty cast has been unfortunately dipped in some flavorless ranch dressing. Thankfully, the rest of the manly men - including a piping hot Alec Baldwin, and ferocious Mark Wahlberg, pick up the slack. Peppered with gruesome violence and nonstop profanity performed to perfection by the professionally profane, and served on a thick plate of a good soundtrack, award winning director Martin Scorsese serves the crime genre with his own special brand of eclectic badass Tabasco, leaving you surprised at how much it surprises you. And it don't come with celery.
