The Departed

Rating: 10/10 (12 June 2015)

The Departed is one of the best thrillers that I have ever seen. Martin Scorsese choose well when he teamed Matt Damon, Leonardo DiCaprio and Mark Wahlberg up against each other and the good and bad guys. The good cop that went bad, the good cop that went good, and the jerk in charge of it all, all showed up for work on this picture. The movie had me wondering but not most of the time and before I knew became sexy. It captured my attention throughout but even though I paid close attention, I felt like I missed the story. At one point, two points, three points, it broke my heart. Nothing like Shakespeare but it did share a story of reason against the unreasonable, and I think that's what won out.Reason - possibly good, not great!
