The "DEPARTED" has left the building

Rating: 3/10 (4 October 2006)

If you're into blood sprayback, bigotry,racism, and misogyny, then this is the movie for you. Jack nicholson gives his standard routine of eye rolls. Wahlburg is a highlight in the acting venue. The star power cast is highly wasted in this blood fest. Matt damon is a wasted talent in this flick. Leonardo is believable but his talent is muted by the storyline. Alec baldwin and Martin sheen are a long way from being Hollywood icons if they continue to jump on a bandwagon created by the likes of Scorcesse. This flick was drawn out. It was also typical Hollywood plot line. Furthermore, it was a gasp at creating a teenage audience for the likes of producers.
