about time he met Oscar.

Rating: 10/10 (13 April 2008)

I was outraged when Goodfellas was snubbed by Oscar. I truly thought in my heart that Marty would never make a film that was as good as Goodfellas. I was wrong. The Departed works on every level. Every actor in the film seems to be miles above their A game. Matt Damon continues to surprise me with his range of acting and Mark Walburg......WOW. Jack never disappoints and he does it again here, effortlessly. The only problem I had with the movie was the love triangle was very convincing, but not enough to weight the film down. For the first time in many years, after the name of the Best Picture and Best Director winner was read, I stood up and cheered.
