The Departed (2006) Review

This film is, simple put, phenominal... it brings the alter-ego of human nature and pits it up against some pretty bad cops.... one begins even to ask oneself "who should we root for?"  Nicholson's portrayal as Frank Costello frightens and entertains like no other performance of the 21st century.  DiCaprio suddenly gains some approval and acts the part perfectly.  Damon was decent, but a very flat character with no room for development, Whalberg was MEAN yet perfect in his role (which earned him an academy nod).

Watch it!  it is simply amazing... see scorsese at his best!
