One of the Best

Rating: Null/10 (28 September 2017)

If you can bring yourself to forget the fact that the directing is impeccable, the acting is top notch and the writing is on point; you would perhaps look deeper into what exactly makes this movie a classic. The Departed encapsulates some of the best uses of thematic archetypes, subverting audience expectations and Hitchcockian suspense methods in recent memory.
Something about the film as a whole cohesively brings together every last drop of what audiences want of out of modern cinema and leaves nothing to be wanted when it's all said and done. A true masterclass of story, methodology and delivery. Highly satisfying, done to perfection and a personal favorite.
