Not the Departed

Rating: 5/10 (31 January 2014)

Overdone. Overemphasized. Overstated. An orgy of ridiculousness. Leo does not deserve an award for playing himself: a portrayal of a rich, despicable character. It was also way too long. If you like T and A and excessive drug use, then this is for you. If you do not care that a story does not have a plot, then this is for you. If you do not require a hero element in your film, then this one is for you. If you have an extra three hours you will never get back, then this one is for you. I liked "The Departed". To me, it is the Scorsese standard. Good acting, good story, good twist. The "Wolf" lacked all of that. Don't waste your time. Or check it out but don't be afraid to turn it off or walk out. It's not worth it.
