The Departed
I know it's only February but The Departed gets 6 thumbs up from me and gets my vote for Movie of the Year.
Great cast, amazing script, twists, turns, action, excitement. This movie is perfect in every way. It's an edge of your seat thrill-ride from beginning to end.
DiCaprio, Damon, Nicholson, Wahlberg, Baldwin, and so on and so forth. The cast is so spectacular this movie just had no possibility of being bad. Martin Scorcese will win awards this year. That's a guarantee!
A final note though... this movie is rated 18A for a reason, it's got plenty of violence and extremely harsh language. It's definitely not recommended for anybody under the age of 16.
Final Verdict:
5/5
Worth buying?: Absolutely, The Departed is a must own.

Hey all, here's a review fo the movie The Departed that I recently bought on Ebay because from what I've heard it's an increible martin Scorsese flick about mobsters and cops and incredible drama. I haven't seen the flick yet but I can tell you that I got it on Blu Ray actually a lot cheaper than what I've seen it for on retail stores. Ebay Rules!

"The Departed" on Blu-ray DiscReview created: 04/07/08
by:
An excellent example of a character-driven drama, this movie has plenty of twists & turns to keep you guessing; it'll leave you talking, it'll make you want to see it again & again, and on Blu-ray it'll be beaitiful each & every time.
Matt Damon is Staff Sergeant Sullivan, a detective with the Boston Police Department; he's also in the employ of Frank Costello (Jack Nicholson), the crime kingpin of Irish Boston. Leonardo DiCaprio is William Costigan Jr., a new thug with Costello's organization, and nephew of one of Costello's dead ex-compadres; he's also an undercover detective in the Boston Police Department's Special Investigations Unit. When this world of crime, betrayal and murder comes together, you'll never see the hits coming!
Great writing and an absolutely stellar cast make this a powerful drama with thrills around every corner! Also features Alec Baldwin, Mark Wahlberg, and Martin Sheen.

There's nothing not to love about this movie. The acting, direction, writing, and editing are all beyond flawless. I now own three copies of the movie. Just in case something happens to two of them.

This movie is worth adding to your collection. Great plot, Legendary Cast, A+ all around. Can be watched again without losing that much excitement.
FINALLY a blu ray movie that has EVERY SCENE worthy of 1080P. Most blu ray movies only have certain scenes, if any that are grain free and sharp. But not this one. All of them are! Even in the shadows. Its about f#%@&*g time!!!

Warner Bros. Pictures presents The Departed (2006) which begins with scenes of racial rioting in Boston (some years ago). The movie begins in narrative mode sharing a story about a gang called the Nights of Columbus who in the words of Irish crime boss Frank Costello (Jack Nicholson) were real head-breakers; true guineas who took over their city. Frank Costello is called Mr. C in the neighborhood. His slant on race, politics and life set the tone of the film as he walks into a local diner, shakes down the owner for cash insults one of the workers and asks one of the kids eating if he is...

I finally watched The Departed on DVD. I had long awaited seeing this Scorsese film as I believe that Scorsese is always masterful and I love mob movies so to speak. I had read reviews from fellow Epinionators but I really didn t couldn t fathom how simply fantastic the film would be. After watching, I immediately went out and bought the movie as well. The Story Frank Costello (Jack Nicholson) is a sort of blue collar mob king pin. He has contacts throughout the police department and he runs his neighbourhood with a reign of terror. He and his thugs demand money from merchants, steal, murder..

An Apt Title For A Film With A Very High Body CountReview created: 11/11/07

I grew up in New England for the most part, in Newport, Rhode Island, so I am well familiar with Boston propensity for violence and organized crime mayhem. The fabled Irish gangs that infest Boston s seedier neighborhoods are also a (waning) fixture in Providence, the capitol of Rhode Island. But Boston provides the back-drop for the latest Martin Scorsese blood-soak drama The Departed, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 2007. Story-line Directed by the aforementioned Martin Scorsese (Goodfellas, The Age of Innocence, Gangs of New York), The Departed (2006) is a remake of the...

Cons:

What do you get when you combine the plot of a Chinese gangster yarn with the ethos of the Sicilian Corleones transferred to an unredeemed, foul-mouthed, bigoted psychopathic gang kingpin (played by Jack Nicholson) among the embittered but practical "Shanty Irish" of Boston? Not GOODFELLAS, obviously, nor GANGS OF NEW YORK or THE AVIATOR -- thank goodness -- but THE DEPARTED, Director Martin Scorsese's best film in at least fifteen years. The film answers the question: Are all cops in Boston Irish? (The answer is, evidently, with one or two exceptions, yes!) And it tries to answer the...

In a break from my normal methods of reviewing films, I thought that the end result of this film was worth noting, even before I dove into the description of the story and the plot. So well made was this film, that I think it should be seen even if you have very little information on the subject matter, and simply know that it stars the likes of Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio. Martin Scorsese has really upped the ante' on police dramas with his latest film The Departed. In doing so, he put together an exemplary cast of actors that achieved every goal of the film, and showed off a well...
