Not Quite About Whitey Bulger!

Rating: 10/10 (15 October 2015)

Martin Scorsese's "The Departed" is a terrific entertaining film despite the violence, profanity and some sexuality. Jack Nicholson gave one of his best performances as Frank Costello, a Boston mobster. Instead of Italian mobsters in New York City, it is Boston and Irish mafia. Leonardo DiCaprio plays an undercover cop in Costello's mob. Matt Damon plays cop and his mole. The two men don't know who is playing who. The film features great supporting performances by Ray Winstone, Martin Sheen, Mark Wahlburg, Vera Farmiga. The film storyline is gripping to watch and can't help to see how it ends. Martin Scorsese did a fabulous job in recreating the Boston mob. The film was shot on location in Boston. Scorsese and his brilliant film editor did a terrific job. Damon and DiCaprio gave terrific acting performances as two men driven to get and or help Costello. In the end, there are just too many departed after all the violence.
