Really Good Stuff!

Rating: 9/10 (10 March 2007)

We watched The Departed tonight and thought it was really good stuff. The characters were really well fleshed out, Jack played his usual off-balanced but scheming self, and Matt Damon played a pretty nice toadie.
*****SPOILER ALERT******
The violence at the end was almost gratuitous, especially when Sullivan had everyone blown away. The other thing which was kind of annoying was the profanity, with so many "f-bombs" being thrown around, almost as if the actors needed to prove how hard-core their characters were. Aside from those minor annoyances, it was a really good flick, with great acting and directing all around.
