SC Movie Review 8

The Departed

Awash with acting and directing talent this film had flop written all over it but most of the reviews I had read were good so stuck with nothing to do on a Sunday night I took Cleo to see it. Good news when I bought the tickets. It was an 18, no holds barred, and I was not disappointed.

It was a violent film but not excessively, but in the violent setting (bad cops and gangsters) I think it did enough to make it realistic but held back as not to make the film too gruesome.

All of the actors were great. Here's 7 of the best

Nicolson (awesome)
Damon (cold)
DiCaprio (surprising not annoying)
Wahlberg (very good character)
Sheen (not bad)
Whinstone (nails
Baldwin (extremely funny)

Go and see this film, it's along the same lines as Goodfellas and Casino but set in modern Boston.

IMdb Rating: 8.6 / 10
SC Rating: 5 potatoes!!! (First ever 5 potato rating)
