    Nicholson, DeCaprio and Damon in a Crime Caper = wickedly good

    Excellent, engaging, twisty and wickedly good tale of a Boston neighborhood, a crime boss (Nicholson) pitted against the police force, with each planting their own shill in each other's ranks. Can't go wrong with this cast, the script is tight, the photography captivating.

    OVERRATED!!!!

    I had never seen The Departed and of course I heard a lot of great things about it and it did win the Oscar for Best Picture, so I was really looking forward to a wonderful experience. The beginning first quarter was difficult (I almost stopped the DVD which is something I've never done) to watch because people cops/everyone just don't behave this way or speak this way, not even a low-class gang banger! None of the characters were likeable on any level, there is no one to root for or engage with, and whether it's literature or films these are important connections that need to be made. And then there were too many plot holes that could have been easily amended, but Scorsese chose not to. It stretched credibility. This is supposed to be a realistic portrayal of detectives and is based loosely on actual people and events. And then you have the camera work! From what I've read about the very best directors, camera movement should be used sparingly, but Scorsese on this film went to extreme levels of camera movements throughout the film. It not only was distracting but it definitely harmed any sense of realism. Acting! You figure with so many talented and experienced actors there wouldn't be any fault. Unfortunately accents were, I guess, a requirement. With the exception of Nicholson and DiCaprio the rest of the cast chose to use a thick heavy Irish/Bostonian accent and the problem is they just weren't convincing and too many times they would drop the accent for a sentence or two and then pick it up again. It was an unnecessarily bad decision by actors and director to have them use heavy accents, obviously the actors couldn't maintain the accents, had they followed Nicholson and DiCaprio is example they would have been more convincing using a subtle accent. Also choosing to go with heavy accents was almost laughable in that I had the sense they just got off the boat at Ellis and it was almost like a parody, though these characters we're born here. And then the last three quarters of the film was pretty much the same but the difference is that the overall tone and pacing finally eased-up and was far less disjointed. I rarely if ever review films, but The Departed was such an unexpectedly bad movie I had to put my two cents in to give everyone who hasn't seen the film the heads-up not to expect too much as the film is extremely overrated!
