The Departed [WS] [DVD] [2006]

This movie has many stars in it, including Leonardo Dicaprio, Mattt Damon, and of course Jack Nicholson. A very cool plot which makes you think about the possibilities of organized crime and what law enforcement might do to control it. Highly recommended.

Nicholson delivers another great performance . Damon and DiCaprio also do excellent in their respective roles.

Great movie for the price. The end will surprise you.

Got this disc at Best Buy for 3 bucks. What a deal!

I don't know exactly what it is that makes me like this movie. The direction was impeccable, the acting was robust and precise. But I guess, more than most movies I just like the feeling. A melancholic despair and struggle to stay alive. Like most of the main characters, I find it hard to really know who I am and what side I am on. Living in a grey area is hard and wearing masks and changing them frequently to keep everyone fooled makes your bones feel old. The constant feeling that its all going to come crashing down on your head and any minute your going to get that call, or that knock on the door when they have come to tell you that got you figured out and its all over. That feeling that no matter how hard you try, you are living in someone else's story and your fate is as easily changed by the whims of more powerful and sometimes more monstrous people. This movie, about people with multiple lives and roles to play, played by people who are themselves actors is a meta-lesson that reminds us that the Bard said it best "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits..." And as Francis reminds us in the film "Act accordingly."

This is a rough movie (gory, killing, etc.), and a bit confusing in the beginning, since Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio look a lot alike, but it's a pretty good movie.

I so love it the first time I saw til now. I had to buy the DVD to watch whenever I wanted too. Even tho it's a long movie it surely was worth all my time. Great actors in it too. I love them all they did an awesome job!!

It arrived a day early. I was very happy and I will use Best Buy again.
