The Departed



Well it is a treck back to the oldschool movies we all know and love. The hardcore mafia flick with a new twist. Instead of the Italian mafia in New York we have the Irish mafia in Boston. The cast itself sets this movie up to be nothing but a loved piece of pure entertainment. Lucky for the audience this movie has a lot more to offer than mindless entertainment. Do not get me wrong, this film is extremely entertaining from start to finish, so much so in fact, that you barely notice the fact that it is a little over two hours long. It also leaves you with something to think about... pondering loyalty and deception. The performances are headed right for the 2006 nomination lists. I highly recommend this film, keep in mind though that it is very violent, intelligently violent, but violent nonetheless, so dont go on a light stomach.

Excellent movie! DiCaprio was phenomenal and …Hot! Nicholson was alarming and hilarious at the same time! Defiantly a must see, though I was unsure about the ending…guess that was the point!
