class A movie

Rating: 8/10 (30 October 2006)

This is probably different from other Martin Scorsese's movies but it's truly enjoyable. Cast is excellent and each one of "the splendid actors gives his best. Dialogues are strong and believable, soundtrack's really great and suitable; as far as I can see there's no moment when rhythm is not steady or story lacks of focus. Furthermore it handles subjects like power and loyalty in a way reminding Mathy's masterpiece "Good Fellas". We could say, to sum up, that Scorsese is back with his humor, his class A actors (Jack Nicholson is huge) and his creating Shakespearean atmospheres. "The Departed" is purely entertaining and gritty and its action is enjoyable 100%.
