Brilliant film making.  Possibly the best crime film I've ever seen and I loved the godfather.  Jack Nicholson plays a boston mob boss, Leo DiCaprio (who steals the show) is an undercover cop who infiltrates the mob, Matt Damon is a mobster who infiltrates the police.  Alec Baldwin, Mark Wahlberg & Martin Sheen all play cop bosses.  Martin Scorcese directed it.

Fantastic film.  Two and a half hours but well worth it.

disagree.  total remake of a prior film.  no imagination.  why is it so hard for these "artists" to come up original ideas.

Good film but not even close to a Godfather or even Scorcese's Goodfellas for that matter.
