The Departed--and not a minute too soon.

Rating: 1/10 (3 September 2007)

This is a terrible movie. It's two and a half hours of obscenities instead of script, violence instead of acting and Jack Nicholson playing who else but Jack Nicholson.
I'm sure a lot of people will say all this was necessary to give the grittiness to the movie. It isn't; think of the great gangster movies of the thirties, forties and fifties. Bogart and the lot never said any more than, "darn" and most violence was implied rather than cataloged.
It's no wonder society is running out of control when this type of sick movie wins an Oscar.
