Overrated

Rating: 8/10 (10 March 2007)

This movie is probably one of the most vile movies I have ever seen. Its about undercover cop Billy Costigan and how he infiltrates the Irish mob boss Frank Costello without getting paddy-whacked. The problem is that there's a dirty cop in Costellos crew, who giving cop secrets away to Costellos crew. This movie was vile in every sense of the word. First off, there's Costello. He thinks hes God and that he can do whatever he wants, including flashing Matt Damon in a porn theater. He then remarks "I never understood jerking off in some theater, I always had a c***". Thats sick. That also brings us to the language factor. This is a normal sentence in the departed: "Yo man I'm gonna f***ing kill you if you don't pay my f***ing money. Then if your f***ing family doesn't f***ing pay it I'll f***ing kill them too." its unrealistic. Then the violence is disgusting. WHen one of the main characters gets capped blood splats all over the windows and same goes for everyone else.
Pros: Somewhat decent story. Good cast. DiCaprio and Walhberg were particularly good.
Cons: see above.
Content: A 5 out of 5 on the disgusto meter. There is a crap load of sex references, violence and language. Not for the faint of heart.
Final Verdict: Overrated, vile movie. A 2 out of 5.
