Title: Deserving Of The Best Film Oscar
Review: This is a fantastic film. Scorcese's films are often too long, but they are always well made and he gets some fine performances out of Leo Di Caprio, Matt Damon and Jack Nicholson. Mark Wahlberg also gets a fantastic small supporting roll. Whether the end is ideal, I am not sure, but the ride up to it is absolutely fantastic. I am not a big fan of Leonardo Di Caprio, he was miscast in Gangs Of New York, but he has shown a mature performance in Blood Diamond, and The Departed is probably his best role to date. Matt Damon is also excellent as the bad good guy.With the likes of Martin Sheen and Alec Baldwin, also in this movie, there is a top cast to add to the fine story, with twists and turns based on events involving a Boston Police Department and Jack Nicholson's crime lord and his gang. Definitely, the film of the year, and the best thing I have seen since Crash & Brokeback Mountain, which won and finished runner-up for Oscar glory last year. Enjoy.
