Respectable performances from the cast

Rating: 8/10 (16 October 2015)

Having "The Departed" on my top 10 list definitely speaks to my interest in this movie. An organized crime movie set in Boston, showing a clash between the feds and the Irish, what a depiction. Johnny Depp delivers a creepy yet solid performance, but I could see some people going through the whole movie and not knowing who Depp is playing. I was not a big fan of the contacts they had him put in but in some cases you do what you gotta do to make the film as real as possible. The rest of the cast delivered respectable performances as well. Joel Edgerton was one of my favourites to watch on screen, as well as Benedict Cumberbatch who had a surprisingly good Irish accent for a British actor. This was definitely my type of movie and if you were a fan of "The Departed" then definitely check this one out.
