The Departed is on its way to the Awards Season - BIG time!

Rating: 9/10 (30 September 2006)

Scorsese at his best. The 150 minutes seems like 90. Stella cast. Jack Nicholson - got to be an Oscar Nominated performance. Leonardo DiCaprio as you have never seen him before. Brilliantly written. Magnificently Directed. Fabulous Photography. And Matt Damon - no more Mr Nice Guy..... A must see movie - A+. Let no one tell you about the film, see it and enjoy it. The film is well paced - it does not have the usually present it most films of 150 minutes plus duration that sagging spot - no way could you cut a frame of this film. Well placed for the awards season and I think this is going to pull a bunch of them, and deservedly so. At last an intelligent movie to grace the cinema screens this year.
