It was...meh. Entertaining, mostly. But far from brilliant, in my opinion. DiCaprio was excellent. I wasn't that impressed with Nicholson. He seems to be the same character in every movie he's been in in the last 10 years or so--an aging, semi-psychotic, wise-ass. Because I am 100% Italian, I just didn't buy him as an Italian mob boss.
