one of the best films i have seen in a very long time

Rating: 9/10 (25 October 2006)

What can I say, this movie has me smitten. The Departed contains action, suspense, drama, and at the same time retains a strong comedic overtone. Great acting all around. Nicholson finally plays someone other than Jack Nicholson in a movie and does a fantastic job. This is the first movie I've ever like DeCaprio in, although I hear he was good in Catch Me If You Can. Just look at the cast and you know you're in for a quality movie. Mark Wahlberg gives a very strong performance and Alec Baldwin is absolutely hilarious. The story is great, the acting is great, and I for one liked the ending. Do yourself a favor and be sure to catch The Departed.
