The Coolidge Corner Theatre

2000s Big Screen Classics Audience Choice Winner

Boston Irish mob boss Frank Costello (Jack Nicholson) believes that if you want something bad enough, you should simply take it. In Frank's mind, there isn't anything that can't be taken, even the Massachusetts State Police. Placing one of his slyest in the ranks of the Staties, Costello believes he has secured his reign as Boston's baddest. But equally ambitious cops Captain Queenan (Martin Sheen) and Sgt. Dignam (Mark Wahlberg) have a rat of their own for Costello. Martin Scorsese returns to his gangster glory in this new classic. Strong performances by Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Mark Wahlberg, and Jack Nicholson. (2006) 2h31m
