A Masterpiece! Scorsese's best since GoodFellas and Movie of The Decade.

Rating: 10/10 (18 January 2007)

Martin Scorsese made the best movie of the '80s RGING BULL, he made the best movie of the '90 GOODFELLAS and now he made THE DEPARTED the best movie since American Beauty and I don't think we'll see a better movie this decade.
The Directing in this movie is unbelievably great. Scorsese at one of his very best. A new masterpiece to be added to Mean Streets, GoodFellas, Taxi Driver and the great classic gangster movies. The performances are amazing, Leonardo DiCaprio's best performance to date, Jack Nicholson as we know him was great and creative, Matt Damon's best performance since Good Will Hunting and even Mark Wahlberg was great in this movie. The screenplay was superp!
This movie is a remake of Infernal Affairs, but there's no way you can compare them! The Departed is way way much better. The Departed adds over 1 hour of events, new characters, removes characters and adds depth to the characters and the story.
The Departed is a great great ride from beginning to end. Don't miss it and if you haven't seen the original yet, watch this first.
