Very exciting story and top notch acting with all the past and current greats, including Mark Whalberg (not a great) but capitalizing well on his whiny little self.

I love this film. The way it is shot, the characters and the acting is all done on a grand scale. So many enjoyable quotes from Jack Nicholson's character. Many iconic scenes like a typical Scorsese film, and of course a fantastic…
The Departed has one of the best casts I've ever seen. It's extremely well written and the story feels tight even though it's on the longer side for films. In classic Scorsese fashion, things are intense and fast paced. It's all shot and…

A typical modern day gangster story with some great acting and directing. Not much else to say; It won't change your life, it's just entertainment folks.

Not a huge fan of Martin S(director's couch and all!)-however, the actors and actresses who do all the work are truly awe-inspiring and this is a movie that is fast paced, exciting and worth every penny either in a movie theatre, at home…

Easily Martin Scorsese's best film. Watching it, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. It is not for the squeamish. The violence is, however, necessary. Violent crime is no walk in the park. Jack Nicholson gives a beautifully…
