What are people on about?

Rating: 6/10 (13 March 2007)

Firstly, I have been part of the IMDb family for a year or so now and have very rarely found a films overall response different from my own.
The departed is one of the most glaring discrepancies so far....
People have rated it so highly and consequently i had high hopes when I sat down to watch it last night. How disappointed i would be.
The acting was mediocre, the sub plots within the movie were completely under developed and only served to blur the main plot, and the ending was bewildering. It almost seemed like Scorcese ran out of time and decided he had to end it quickly.
Overall, an average movie. Worth getting out on DVD maybe, but wait for the TV release in my opinion 6 out of 10
