Here comes Johnny Depp !!!!!!!!

Rating: 9/10 (17 February 2008)

When the movie started I actually had a thought if this is Martin Scorsesse's movie because of striking similarity with "Goodfellas" but I was never disappointed by Ted. I have watched a lot of stories based on someone's life but this movie is special for me only because of Johnny Depp. I had heard a lot about his potential and saw him in Pirates of Caribbean trilogy but didn't quite like him. After this movie, everything is changed. Not only Depp displays exemplary acting talent he also showed his potential in carrying the film single handedly. Two scenes of the film stands out for me. The one outside the court house with Barbara and another towards the end where he knows about the FBI plot. There were numerous more instances of him handling the situation beautifully. The eighties life was beautifully depicted. Ray and Penelope were average. Ray was better. The climax is very very touching and Depp has done justice to it.
Hats off to Depp. Watch it for Depp and Depp only.
