Excellent

Rating: 10/10 (7 October 2006)

I loved this movie, from start to finish. I've been waiting a long time for a great Irish-American mob movie, and this is it. The cast is as incredible on screen as it is on paper, and the dialogue was perfect. Also, if you have any interest in Whitey Bulger, The Departed has more then one parallel to his story. I've lived in Boston for my whole life, and Southie for a few years and i can tell you that they really captured the city in this film. The accents were thick, but not exaggerated (Matt Damon's has improved since Good Will Hunting). And the scenery was perfect. If you're a fan of mob movies, see it. Fan of scorcese? see it. Or if you're a fan of any one of the amazing actors that took part in this movie, see it.
