Rating: 10/10 (10 October 2006)

This was easily the best movie I have seen this year, maybe even this decade. This is the "Goodfellas" or "Pulp Fiction" of this decade. The story is put together by Scorsese so well that when it hits you it never lets up. The performances are top notch. Leonardo DiCaprio steals the movie from power man Jack. His character is so perplexed and caught up in this mess, you begin to feel his pity. Damon is excellent as someone who truly only looks out for himself and has no heart. The surrounding cast is also excellent surrounded by the power. Kudos to Mark Walberg and Vera Farminga. The Departed is so well paced that when the climax his it leaves you stunned.Unfourtanly when the climax begins it obvious the fate of all. Scorese gets this genre better than anyone. This is a movie about crime, but so much more. See it ASAP!
