Great thriller

Rating: 9/10 (13 October 2006)

I went yesterday to The departed's premiere and I really liked it.The movie is extremely fun and the violent scenes are very well filmed.Scorsese has a kinda irregular career:he made great films(Bringing out the dead,Goodfellas,Taxi driver or Raging bull), but also unsatisfactory movies(Kundun,The age of innocence or New York,New York).The departed belongs to the first group.The great Jack Nicholson makes a perfect performance and I think he needs to have another Academy Award nomination for this movie.Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon and Mark Wahlberg also bring excellent performances.The departed is a great remake that,without being at the same level of Infernal affair(the original movie),is very fun,with great moments of violence,with great performances and with very unexpected things for the ones who did not see the original film.
