Title: As I have gotten older I find myself liking this kind of movie less and less
Review: The acting in this movie was great! Especially Alec Baldwin and Leonardo Dicaprio! I do think Jack Nicholson has gone to the well one too many times with the whole loose cannon thing. I like him better in quieter roles where he actually gets to act, such as "The Pledge", and "As Good As It Gets". He was TERRIFIC in both of those movies.Back to "The Departed". This isn't a badly done movie but after it was over all I could think of was "Why did I just watch this?" Was I entertained? With that much violence, I sure hope not. Did the movie make me think of anything new or feel anything new? NAH. It was just violence. It seems like a lot more movies are just that; violence!I am not against violence in a movie when it does something or moves the story or even makes a point about something, but this was just violence.This is just my opinion but it is something I have been thinking a lot about lately.
Is the review positive or negative?
