Scorsese' Best Movie and DiCaprios Best Performance

Rating: 10/10 (3 June 2016)

Despite having four decades worth of competition The Departed in my opinion is the greatest movie Martin Scorsese has ever made because it does everything that movie needs to be good and much more. Leonardo DiCaprio was simply incredible in this movie it's not only his best performance but it's one of the best of all time as there is a story on his face and a variety of emotions with every new scene. The film also have layers upon layers of tension in every scene making it truly unpredictable right up until the very end. While out shined by DiCaprio the rest of the cast give fantastic Performances particularly Matt Damon who also gives the best performance of his career. While it's always going to bug me that Mark Walberg was the only actor in this movie to be nominated for an Oscar he was still fantastic and was the comic relief of the film. The film is quite simply directed perfectly channelling the chaotic and unstable themes of the film ensured Scorsese his best director Oscar. This is one of my favourite movies of all time and it truly is a masterpiece.
