or to die as a good man?

That piece of dialog sealed the deal. The film has so much subtleties and exposition that it's hard to say it's flawed. Whether or not certain events happen or it was all in Leo's head, Scorsese did an excellent job executing those notions. The score's brilliant and it actually pays off of whether things were real or not. My only complaint was it felt a bit long, it's not that bad, but I felt the revisiting of WWII stuff in some sequences were a bit much, also the dreams he has of his wife. Overall it's a good thriller even though I figured out the twist from the first viewing of the trailer.
