What an amazing movie

Rating: 9/10 (6 October 2006)

So this is the first review I've done for IMDb, and I'm not gonna lie, I feel like I need to do it for this movie. I love reading the boards and everything here, but many people forget what movies are about. They are about ENJOYMENT. Plain and simple. And The Departed is an enjoyable movie, very, very much so.
The only thing to say about it is go and see it. The cast top to bottom is amazing, from Leo and Jack down to Alec Baldwin and Martin Sheen. Too many times guys like Leo or Matt Damon or Mark Whalberg are given a bad rap cause of their "pretty faces." Thats too bad because all three are excellent actors, and all three deliver steller performances in this film. So far this year, of the films I have seen, this movie is the best. Thats why I gave it a nine, and thats just to be on the safe side. Believe me it won't be a waste of money to see this one film, if no other film, this year.
