'The Departed' Leaves Astonishment

Martin Scorsese has directed a masterpiece! Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, Mark Wahlberg, Martin Sheen, Alec Baldwin, and Anthony Anderson star in this thriller about two men from opposite sides of the law going undercover within the Irish Mafia and the Boston State Police. This film will hold your attention throughout its entire duration. It's filled with shootouts (which are extemely intense), blood, sex, drama, cell phones, and a lot of cursing. The characters obsessively use the word "fuck." For example, they tell each other to "go fuck yourself," or "fuck you." A couple of these various forms of the word "fuck" are quite humorous. Throughout the film, it may prove difficult, at least for some audiences, figure out or know who is on which side of the corruption...so stay in your seat and duck and take cover, 'cause bullets will fly and men will die. If you don't understand Dignam's (Mark Wahlberg's character) final action, then you didn't pay attention to the beginning of the movie. Dignam knew every cop and every undercover cop. For the women out there, a love story weasels its way into the film. But that doesn't matter, because there is too much blood and too many bullets whizzing around for the women to enjoy it. Unless, of course, your a woman who likes action films. The performances were awsome! Ten Factor: 10
