The Departed

Rating: 9/10 (28 August 2012)

This was an excellent movie, on par with Goodfellow's and better than Casino. The acting was superb and a great cast, though I'm a huge Jack Nicholson fan and he is as magnetic as ever, Martin Sheen was great as well as the two main characters. This movie was Scorsese at his best.
Though you knew from the beginning of the movie who were the good guys and who were the bad guys so there was no major twist or surprise at the end. I would highly recommend any Scorsese movie. I can't believe he never got an Oscar for this or Casino. I don't think there is a director that can do organized gangster crime movies finer. The ending of the movie though was not as good as any of the other Scorsese movies and seemed to be a bit of a cop out. This was made up by superb acting.
