Great adaptation

I read Lehane's book before seeing the movie. Most of the time, the movie is a disappointment after the book, but NOT this time! Lahane and Kalogridis did a brilliant job adapting the book to a script. Visually - stunning! DiCaprio - hats off to you. I've never been a huge fan, but wow - what a performance. Scorsese - masterful.
I'm impressed. If you're expecting a slasher/horror flick you'll be VERY disappointed. If you want a mind bending "who done it" by the author of "Gone, Baby Gone", don't miss it.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Great date movie -

It may not be a GREAT movie, but it is a great date movie. Parker and Grant have great screen chemistry. The supporting cast (Elliott, Steenburgen, etc) add to the charm of the film. There are some great punch lines in this movie, but the story as a whole is funny. The rural scenes are set in Wyoming, but filmed in New Mexico. It was bit distracting, but that’s being picky. There is more than enough humor for the guy that's not fond of "romances" and plenty enough "romance" for gals that don't want to see "blow-em'up action". The movie is "clean" so it can be appropriate for nearly anyone. The "s* references" and "violence" are very mild by today’s standard. I'm almost surprised this movie drew a PG13 rather than a PG rating.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
