This and the movie it was based on are some of the best gangster movies ever made. I think this movie has revived the genre that has largely been stagnating as of late. Everyone's performance is amazing. This and the Godfather are the two best gangster movies ever made.
This movie is not light and airy and fun. It is intense, violent and masterfully told. "The Departed" is not generally my type of movie, but it was well done.
Here's what I liked: 1) the plot was not predictable (even for someone who usually foresees the end in the first 5 minutes of a movie), 2) Leonardo di Caprio was amazing, 3) Matt Damon and Jack Nicholson were great, 3) there were several twists.
My only criticism might be that Mark Wahlberg was a little over the top. Then again, his character was supposed to be.
This is a very violent movie and although I would rate it in my top 10 movies of all time, I will never see it again. It's just not that kind of movie.
This one is a real in and out of dirty cops and undercover cops
fighting it out in a poker hand, hide and seek
with death as the hole card.
The acting and script are the best I have seen of this sort
and there have been a whole lot of these dirty cop movies.
The gangsters are winning as this movie starts.
The inside man is a young fellow who is ambitious for higher things.
The undercover cop should have thought twice before taking the assignment...
I really enjoyed the movie, but not the harsh ending.
