The Departed

Rating: 7/10 (16 October 2006)

The movie The Departed grabbed my attention because of the fact that it features Leonardo DiCaprio. The movie is undoubtedly well- written, with many intricacies. However, I grew weary of the obscene cussing within half an hour, if not less. It would have had more of an impact if certain words were used more sparingly. However, Matt Damon and the other actors in the movie do a great job with the Boston accent. This is definitely not a movie you would take your kids to. Although it captures the mind with many plot twists and is very exciting, I would definitely not recommend this movie if the only reason you're going to see it is because you are a fan of Matt Damon or Leonardo DiCaprio.
