The Departed is definately in my top 10 favourite films of all time.
Leonardo Di'caprio, Jack Nicholson, Matt Damon, Mark Wahlbery, Ray Winstone I could go on and on.
I first saw this film during my second lesson of film studies, I was in awe of it. People think I overate The Departed, but there's just something about it, it's amazing. I think it's like the modern day 'what would really happen' Godfather, I can hear you gasp in horror already. However, just imagine if the Corleone family tried to get away with half of the stuff today, okay they were very clued up but still, an undercover cop would be all over them.
I'd just like to point out that in no way am I comparing Jack Nicholson to Marlon Brando, completely different kettle of fish all together.
So after watching The Departed hundreds of times and still discover new things about each scene, I think I've found my genre now. Thriller, this film defines 'Thriller' nervous narrative, gritty script and shocking experiences.
If you haven't seen this film, Go Out and Buy it NOW.
A must see!
