Fantastic

Rating: 10/10 (9 October 2006)

Was desperate to see "The Departed" because it was the first time I was catching up on a Scorsese movie in US on release date. (I am from India). Making a 2 1/2 hr gangster flick is a very tough task. But there are so many twists and turns that are there in this flick that 2 1/2 hrs just passed by without my knowledge.
Initially i took some time to get into the movie. But once you are there, you will get so involved with the characters that you actually feel whats going on with them. Screeplay was very tight and gripping. To actually make a movie about two guys who don't meet until the end, is quite an achievement. And the last half an hour was amazing. I saw quite a few reviews which said that the climax as not up to the mark. I totally disagree with them. The scene when DiCaprio is shot, the whole theater was shocked and I could hear the sounds like "Oh!! My God"...Man it was amazing .... I was like "What the heck was that" ....
One final word "Marty! You rock, You simple do!!"
Planning to catch it one more time this weekend .....
