Extremely Intense

Rating: 10/10 (12 April 2008)

Martin Scorsese has made an extremely intense and well made film since his Goodfellas epic and Casino. I love everything about this film that hurts. The acting, the screenplay, the direction and everything else. This is one those unique films that I can watch over and over again, and still can't get tired of it. It should be in the 20's up in IMDb's 250 top movies. The Departed is flawless, riveting, and has lots and lots of style to go with it. It really is the best picture of 2006. Exstravangtly professional gangster film. Leonardo DiCaprio has always been better, Matt Damon is spectacular, Jack Nicholson never fails, and Mark Walhberg knocks it right out of the park! It has a lot of twists and turns that will rev up the audience and shake em' to its core, with a mind-blowing ending that you will never, ever forget. I am most certainly glad it won its four Oscars because it completely deserved them. This is an absolute instant classic. Well Martin Scorsese, you've done it again!
