Wahlberg steals the show!!!

Rating: 10/10 (15 October 2006)

Martin Scorsese returns with The Departed an American version of the critically acclaimed Infernal Affairs. But Scorsese doesn't just return he brings with him an a list cast including Jack Nicholson, Leonardo Di Caprio and Matt Damon. All three burst onto the screen providing terrific performances but the standout display is provided by Mark Wahlberg. The Italian job star gives us a hilarious turn - ripping into both Di Caprio and Damon, but its all about the tension as far as the film is concerned. The guns kill and the blood spills - including a glorious showdown at the end, its without a doubt Scorsese's best work since Goodfellas - outstanding.
