Fantastic Plot with Star Power

Rating: 10/10 (1 January 2017)

The plot might have a peppering of cliché however the stars of this film sell us this story line on a silver platter. The screenplay is is a masterpiece of real and raw dialogue with perfect Boston locations. Tension ebbs and flows to a perfect breaking point to deliver a five star climax. I love seeing Leo and Matt go toe to toe. The Depatrted truly captures the Bostonian culture built on its own cast-iron bravado. The choice of songs and scores develops the harsh and scary undertones that compliment the tense environment the characters work within. Jack Nicholson is the dark force to be reckoned with! Wow! His character makes The Godfather look like an old softy. This movie is not your typical dirty cop story because it has a more complex plot that shows how this house of cards is actually constructed. This film makes me think twice about ever ticking off a guy from Southy or Providence!
