Not Really My Thing

Rating: 6/10 (27 May 2017)

I'm not into a lot of Martin Scorsese movies mainly because hardly any of his characters are likable or even relatable and the Departed is no exception. Sure, it's well acted, well directed and well written, but I don't get a lot of enjoyment out of shitty people acting like shitty people. Just a really unpleasant experience all around. If you're into dark, twisting thrillers about horrible people give it a watch. If you're like me, however, and prefer a protagonist you can actually root for you're out of luck here.
