The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, and Mark Wahlberg, with a whose who of supporting cast members.
With 4 Oscar wins. The Aussie absolutely loves this one. And boy does he go off. He starts off a little shy but by the end he's spewing profanities left, right and centre. Spoiler alert and parental warning!! The language here is spicy.
This is in the top 5 gangster movies along with Casino and Goodfellas - and we compare the movies.
