Best Scorscese Movie Ever

Rating: 10/10 (27 January 2007)

I've seen Goodfellas, Raging Bull etc. and I must say that The Departed is the best movie that Marty has directed. Stellar performances by DiCaprio, Damon, Whalberg and (my favorite performance in the movie) Alec Baldwin. Jack Nicholson has the problem that he has in all of his movies. He's still Jack. Every single movie that he's in he's the same guy. He doesn't even decide to use a Boston accent. But, he's entertaining enough to keep a 10/10.
Once again, Scorscese is brilliant in song choice for this movie. Whether it's a beautiful version of Comfortably Numb or the Bar Brawl Remeniscient Shipping Up To Boston. Also, as in all Scorscese movies, the violence is beautifully lifelike and, at times, disturbing.
Except for Jack Nicholson, this movie is fantastic and I hope that the Acadamy agrees with me!
