So, the goal of watching “a shit film” doesn’t alway pan out, and in this case seeing a cast list with the names “Nicholson / DiCaprio / Damon” in it meant no further searching was needed. Unfortunately for me, I have a genuine problem telling DiCaprio and Damon apart – no idea why. Still, a compelling tale of tribal/familial alliances across mob/cop boundaries, with enough brutality to make it mean something.
