    The Departed

    Martin Scorsese has really outdone himself with this crime masterpiece that can only be described as a tour de force film that packs one hell of a punch. Leonardo DiCaprio is at the top of his game playing a Boston State Police Officer, Billy Costigan, that must infiltrate the Boston City Irish Mob for two detectives, Oliver Queenan (Martin Sheen) and Sean Dignam (Mark Wahlberg), that are hellbent on bringing him down. Jack Nicholson playing the seductively chilling and psychotic Frank Costello is set to be remembered as one of the great film villains in history. Mark Wahlberg playing the angered Police Detective, Dignam is a joy to see on screen, stealing every scene that he is in. Overall, Martin Scorsese is an absolute master of his craft and it shows in his Oscar Winning crime epic. This IS what film is supposed to be.

    Great stuff!

    This was a greaaat movie. Plenty of excellent actors who gave fantastic performances. I'm sure they'll win awards for this one. Awesome plot. Lots of twists at the end. There were plenty of humorous parts as well.

    If you like Boondock Saints or Reservoir Dogs, you should love this movie. SEE IT

WellMax81 @N3W1E I saw The Iron Lady last night. I thought that was pretty good. I'd recommend "Almost Famous", "The Departed", "The Social Network"..
