Whitey Bulger banned in Boston

Rating: 9/10 (24 October 2006)

Well, no question in my mind now that I've seen the movie why it's called "The Departed." As a lifelong Bostonian, I put off seeing the movie because there's nothing like a poory done Boston accent to ruin an otherwise good experience for me, but with just a few exceptions, everyone pretty much got it right. I have to tell all the reviewers who show up on the IMDb main page, though, that there is a BIG differnce between the Bosotn Police Deparment and "the Stateies," and these were the Massachusetts State Troopers, presumably a cut or two above the BPD.
Jack Nicholson as Whitey Bulger was only missing his fondness for young boys to make a true picture. Here's a good link to read the true story: http://tinyurl.com/y5cm2m Some of the facts in the movie were changed a bit to make a better story.
