I decided to rewatch this film recently because I remembered it had a lot of faces behind it. Starring Matt Damon, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Jack Nicholson it's a film about an undercover policeman trying to take down an Irish gang, while the game leader set up an undercover operative of his own. It won a decent number of awards at the time, and it managed to age fairly well. I think it stumbles a little toward the end in the story, and you have to trace through the end a bit. While I don't think a story needs to explain itself, i think when you walk through this one it becomes a little comical (so many traitors in the film). I still enjoyed watching it again, though it's almost too light hearted at times for the drama that it is. 7/10
