Perfection!

Rating: 10/10 (6 October 2006)

I'm a huge Scorsese fan, so I was extremely excited to see the Departed. The movie was as good, if not better then what i expected. LIke people have said, it's Scorse's best film since Goodfellas, or Casino. He seems to be returning to what he loves best: Organized Crime. It's also the first movie that I've been surprised at in years. Mostly, movie plots are fairly easy to figure out, but this had me bouncing of the walls. It has a high body count, which is always fun, meaning, classic violent scenes, only Scorsese could make look poetic. The Entire cast is perfection. Leonardo DiCaprio was it his best, ever. He became Billy Costigan, to the point were you felt that what Billy was going through, were actual moments of Dicaprio's life. Matt Damon as always was good, though not as good as Leo. Jack Nicholson, well, what can you say about him? That he is amazing. Another perfect performance. Mark Wahlberg really surprised me, he was somewhat the comic relief of the movie, and stole the screen every time he appeared. Every inch of this movie was great, and i can't wait to see it again. Scorsese, your the best there ever was! Love, Simone
