Dicaprio should have gotten the Oscar

Rating: 8/10 (10 May 2016)

Although Dicaprio now has his Oscar, it's come 10 years too late in my opinion. He should have gotten it for his role as Billy Costigan in the Departed. He is brilliant in this. In fact, the whole film is brilliant. It is a raw and brutal portrayal of Irish organised crime. Jack Nicholson was fantastic as the antagonistic mob boss Frank Costello.
One thing I didn't like was Martin Sheen and Mark Whalburg as Billy Costigan's superiors. To me they bordered too much on the good cop/bad cop stereotype and I think that Mark Whalburg was far too over the top in his role as the bad cop.
