    No but being from Boston I'm embarrassed to say I still haven't gotten around to seeing it. I've heard great reviews though.

    Sounds like it may be influenced a little bit by Whitey Bulger and the Winter Hill Gang.

    Best Scorsese Film. Period., 3 October 2006
    10/10
    Author: fburke69 from United States

    Oh my God.

    I can say without overstatement that I just saw the most gripping and entertaining American film to come out in at least the past ten years.


    I was lucky enough to get a pass to an advance screening of The Departed this past weekend in Boston. I wasn't sure what to expect and actually planned on being a little disappointed with all the expectations and hype of such an all-star cast.

    From the moment the opening credits came up, the movie grabbed me by the neck, ripped me out of my seat and didn't let go until the final scene.

    Each performance is more masterful than the next. Damon was a tour de force as the lead, tapping every ounce of his acting reservoir for this role. Nicholson creates another classic role to add to his already sterling resume. His mob boss would almost steal every scene he was in, if it not for every other actor being so fantastic However, the biggest surprise for me personally came from Leonardo DeCaprio.

    Having never warmed up to any of his roles or movies, I found myself blown away by him in this. I'm not sure if it was the material he was given, or if DeCaprio has grown this much as an actor, or a combination of both, but he finally won me over with his role in this instant Scorsese classic. Every character is pitch perfect, every scene is right on the money. The plot builds to a crescendo of such dynamic proportions rarely seen on film. I don't want to give too much away, but I'm still shaken from the ride I was taken on.

    People go to the movies in the hopes that maybe once in a hundred times you get to experience storytelling so masterful and transcendent that it changes the way you view cinema. This is one of those spectacularly perfect times.

    Forget Taxi Driver. Forget Raging Bull. Forget Goodfellas. As much as I LOVE those movies and as much as they have affected me in my lifetime, The Departed will hands down be Martin Scorsese's Master Work.

    As pathetic as someone who threatens to tap people online while in reality having no experience in any martial art? Or as pathetic as someone who all of the sudden gets on the best fighter's balls like a little kid does to Michael Vick or LeBron James? Which one I still haven't decided if I'm going to see it yet.

    I saw it and liked it. A lot. My fucking friend saw it and noticed Alec Baldwin's tie and laughed his ass off cuz it was always too short. I didnt catch it!

    Though I enjoyed it and would see it again, I couldnt accept Nicholson as a mod boss.

    I would say more, but there was a thread on the movie 2 weeks ago that I replied in. On and lin in you signature, Baldwin says the man has a lot of cash "OR" knows how to use the cock.

    Yeah that's what I first thought when I heard he played that role. Everytime I see him in a movie all I can picture is him in the Shining. He's a great actor though so I guess I'll have to see if he pulls it off.

    I love Nicholson. Id say this movie and About Schmidt were the only times he didnt fit the part. However, it doesnt affect The Departed's flow of action, plot, and character development <~biggie to me.

    I watched it tonight, and I thought it was awesome. Leonardo DiCaprio did a great acting job. I give the movie a 9.5 out of 10.
