Upon rewatching this film, I realized its greatness. Initially, I gave this a three out of four stars but now, I realized that this was a top-notch, four-star movie that deserved its Oscar nominations. Leonardo DiCaprio really came a long way from his "Growing Pains," "Total Eclipse," and "Titanic" days. His daring performance grabbed my attention from start to finish because he played his character with such grace and consistency. The fact that he didn't win an Oscar for Best Actor for this film (or "The Departed") still troubles me. The film is nicely paced for a two-and-a-half-hour film, well-casted, and an important gem that shouldn't be missed by anyone interested in character studies.
