It doesn't get any better than this

Rating: 10/10 (10 October 2006)

Martin Scorsese has been a renowned film maker for quite some time but he has just now reached his peak. I was in sheer amazement after seeing his newest The Departed, remake of the Japanese version Infernal Affairs. Scorsese mixes his classic style of films like Goodfellas and Taxi Driver with a new age swing that makes for the ideal film.
The film is about an undercover cop(Dicaprio), a high ranking police official(Damon), and an underground city crime runner(Nicholson). Also starring is Mark Whalberg, Martin Sheen, and Alec Baldwin. The movie is action packed from start to finish as a plot continually unfolds about a mole within the police station during the pursuit of Nicholsons arrest. All of these premier actors live up to their name as DiCaprio and Nicholson lead the way. Don't be surprised if Leo's name comes up during Oscar season. He really put on a performance not to be forgot. Nicholson also succeeded admirably. He creates a sense of intimidation up to DeNiro status.
This film is by far the best picture I've seen this year and I don't see it being topped. I simply cannot think of a more entertaining, riveting, and well acted film I've seen in many years. I can't recommend it any higher. 10/10. Bravo Scorsese!
