Not Just The Best Picture Of 2006, But The Best Picture Of The Decade, So Far!

Rating: 10/10 (11 October 2006)

The Departed **** The Departed is one of those movies where you really get into the story. Now I have to admit, Interal Affairs, the original, was a good movie with a good story but I was amazed that Hollywood came through and made a great movie with a great story. It may not be original but it's a lot more interesting than Interal Affairs. Like many other people, nobody thought much of Leonardo DiCaprio's acting when he made Titanic and The Beach, (I was one of the few males who though Titanic was a great film), but DiCaprio has turned out to be a class A actor, not like he wasn't before. He's not Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, or Marlon Brando of his generation, he's Leonardo DiCaprio, a stand alone actor and if he continues getting great roles in great films, he'll be an Academy Award winner, if not, then he'll get an Honorary Oscar. Matt Damon does a fantastic job of playing a villain for once. Jack Nicholson is veteran actor in The Departed. Some veteran actors can't match up their Academy Award winning roles over and over again. However Nicholson does. His performance as criminal Frank Costello equals up to his performance in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, Terms Of Endearment, & As Good As It Gets, which he all won an Oscar for. He may not have won the Oscar for About Schmidt, but he might win it for this performance.
Thats all I'm going to say. Just watch the movie and enjoy.
