Excellent film.

Rating: 8/10 (8 June 2010)

The story of two moles. One in the mob and he other in the police. "The Departed" is a great movie with really great characters. At first, they might seem a too many, at least for me, but in the end you know that they all were important somehow.
The acting was great. Nicholson is one terrific actor, he is always great in his movies. Damon is pretty good as well. But DiCaprio really surprised me. He turned into a great actor as well. I now consider him as a really serious actor with more potential than I originally thought he had. For instance, he was in Titanic. But that's just old news.
The plot was really well polished. I think it was smart enough to make this film a good title. And just like the story, the script helped a lot. But considering that many things were ad-libbed, the price goes for the actors.
In the end I recommend this movie. It might enjoyable for everybody. Even if this is not the "original" movie. I haven't seen the original film "Mou Gaan Dou" though, but now I'm definitely want to watch it.
