Great Movie

Rating: 9/10 (9 October 2006)

Went to see Departed this weekend with very high expectations, and have to say it lived up to the hype. Scorcese does not disappoint and the cast is phenomenal.
Everyone gives a great performance, especially Jack, and they throw the audience for one heck of a loop at the end. I mention it only because it is not one you could figure out, but instead just a complete twist or 180 that is literally impossible to see coming. While there are quite a bit of profanities thrown out in the movie,it is only the extremely sensitive that would be offended. For the rest of us, they are easy to get past, some even quite comical. The preview basically sets this up to be a violent and aggressive movie, and it delivers on all accounts. If the preview turned you off at all, just use your better judgment and see something else.
Definitely the best movie of 2006.
