With all the hype, I expected more from this movie. If anything, it was over-the-top and tried too hard. I thought DiCaprio's performance was great. Nicholson was just the same-old Nicholson. Pretty graphic. |

I'm pretty shocked that this movie won best picture and 4 other oscars. Must have been a pretty lousy year. This movie is anything but bad but it isn't that good everybody claims it to be. Way overrated! |

Awesome acting by everyone involved. Not my favorite Scorsese film, but one of his best. A must see for all. |

A dark drama with a strong cast |
|
It simply amazes me how all characters intersect in the climax. Each storyline play out well and as they both transition over time. Exceptional performance by Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio. No surprise by Jack Nicholson. The elevator scene will stand as the best. |

What, Ya On Yer Period |

This was hands-down the best movie of 2006, regardless of all the "Juno" fans who rooted for it during the Oscars. However, Martin Scorsese is brilliant in crafting a rather episodic crime drama about mobsters and cops and what little difference there is between them...cause who cares when you're facing a loaded gun, eh? The cinematography, the writing, the acting, direction, everything was flawless. Way to go, Scorsese for finally earning your first Oscar nod ["Goodfellas" should have been your first.] |

Almost as good as the Godfather Trilogy |
|
I'm not going to pull any punches here. 'The Departed' is the definition of a crime/thriller. Any fan of Martin Scorsese, Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Wahlberg, and gangster films will absolutely love 'The Departed', which deserves to go down as one of the best films of the last 25 years, if not of all time. It is near perfect in every aspect of film making, and is a non-stop, heart pounding, gripping, and brilliant thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat wanting more.
Gang lord Frank Costello (3-Time Oscar Winner Jack Nicholson) is practically the most feared man in all of Boston. For years, he has controlled the streets with unparalleled authority. But now, that could change. The police has assigned a young man from another gang family turned police officer, Billy Costigan (3... |
