Scorsese's Oscar

Rating: 9/10 (17 November 2006)

Absolutely brilliant, super performance from every actor especially good old Jack and Dicaprio. And there are no excuses for not giving the Oscar to Scorsese this time !!! Also a good job by the pretty unknown Vera Fermiga who shines among the stars. Scorsese has done it again. My opinion is that this present time mob story actually is better than one of my favorites The Goodfellas. Very commendably. Problaby an Oscar for Dicaprio and another nomination for Nicholson. Its along time since we have seen Martin Sheen in a great role as Inspector Qeenan, Wahlberg does it good to. His role is a bit annoying but very important in the end (say no more). Damon is as always doing a good job but not as remarkable as Nicholson and Dicaprio who really shines. I haven't seen "infernal affairs" yet but after seeing The Departed I definitely have to see it.
