Rating: 9/10 (23 October 2006)

The answer is yes. This is a very good movie. Scorsese is back to his former form. Not that the Aviator and gangs of new york were bad movies, they're actually quit good movies, but not Scorsese good. The Departed is Scorsese good though.
The story takes place in Boston which is a new field for Marty. It's actually quite refreshing. But when it all comes down the city doesn't really matter.
In terms of acting there isn't much to say. Everybody does their job, and well. EVEN Mark Wahlberg and Matt Damon. Dicaprio has really become a talented actor. But Matt is probably the actor that surprised me the most in this movie. I'm not a big fan of his, but he really does a good job here. I expected nothing less from the legend Jack Nicholsen which is one of my favorite actors. And Alec Baldwin probably shows his best performance so far. All in all a GREAT cast.
A great movie, Probably better than infernal affairs, but it is Scorsese after all. 9/10
