Absolutely loved it

Rating: 10/10 (1 November 2008)

Wow! One word that I uttered when the end of this film regretfully came. Though normally not a fan of this particular genre, I found myself absolutely captivated by the genius of Martin Scorsese. The Departed is nothing short of incredible with spectacular acting all round (I could give all the names of the great actors but frankly, there isn't enough time in a week). How this film didn't earn more Oscars (although Mark Wahlberg fully deserved his) is a complete mystery to me. Anybody who loves the kind of crime and gangster movies should watch this film and bathe in its brilliance. Anybody who doesn't love the genre should watch this film and wonder why they don't watch more films like it. In short - pretty damn good.
