incredible

Rating: 8/10 (8 June 2007)

I have just borrowed the departed from a friends since i missed it in the cinema. My mum really wanted to see this as well so we both watched it.
It was definitely worth all the hype. This movie was absolutely fantastic and brutal. My mum pretty much had a huge gasp at almost every point in the film.
The gasp-o-meter: I am going to put certain events from the film into how much my mum gasped at it. I will try not to give too much info out but here we go.
When a certain character falls from a roof gasp rating 5
When a key character dies at the end gasp rating 8
When someones broken arm is smacked against a table gasp rating 7
When an extra character gets stabbed in the face with a coat hanger gasp rating 4
I might have passed off the departed as way too violent but it is intelligent which i can't say about many other movies out today.
The departed is worth all the awards all the praise and all the hype definitely worth all your time.
