An instant classic!

What's great about it: A very well put together cast.
What's not so great: If you don't like mafia movies, you won't like this one.
"Scorsese put together an All-Star cast for this mafia/gangster/cop movie. The story was well written and kept me on the edge of my seat. Just when I thought the movie would become predictable, something unexpected happened. This movie was very enjoyable from start to finish!"

"This film could rightfully be considered Scorsese's opus. Not since Goodfellas has the director made a movie this compelling; this is quite simply storytelling at it's best. Do not miss out on this masterpiece!"

Good movie
05/12/2008
By MAC22

What's great about it: All-star cast, full of action, good story
What's not so great: Not the best movie any of the main actors have done.
"The Departed features an all-star cast, but the all-star cast doesn't mean that it is filled with all-star acting. The movie is full of action and suspense, and features an intriguing story. However, it was not delivered as well as one would hope, considering the big names involved in the movie. Overall, it is a decent movie that is worth seeing."

Martin Scorsese at his best
04/20/2008
By Smoothie

What's great about it: A lot of great actors and a lot of action
What's not so great: A lot of swearing
"One of the best movies I've seen in a long time. This movie will have you at the edge of your seat the entire way. Another great film by Martin Scorsese. The amount of big name actors that are in here is amazing. Leo, Jack, Mark Wahlberg, Alec Baldwin, Matt Damon, Martin Sheen. Definately worth the money, and a great addition to any DVD collection."

Among Scorsese's best
02/20/2008

What's great about it: great film
What's not so great: no special features other than trailer on single disc version
"Although not as good as "Casino," "Goodfellas" or "Taxi Driver," "The Departed" is still a great film from Martin Scorsese. The film is about a criminal (Jack Nicholson) who has a friend working for the police in Boston (Matt Damon). There's also an undercover officer working for the criminal (Leonardo DiCaprio). During the film's two and a half hours, these storylines intersect and make for one excellent film.
Mark Wahlberg and Martin Sheen are outstanding as superior officers. The plot twists are natural and engaging. The violence is quick and brutal. The characters are believable -- it's good to see Matt Damon playing a real character who has a personality instead of the boring, soulless Bourne.
While big fans of "The Departed" will want the two-disc edition, the single-disc version is sufficient for causal fans. The film has a nice widescreen transfer and the theatrical trailer. Highly recommended."

Great Purchase

What's great about it: Great Action
What's not so great: Some Bad Special Effects
"The Departed is a great movie about organized crime in Boston. A story about two cops; one cop working undercover in the organized crime group and the other cop working as an informant for the organized crime group. This film has great action, and many unexpected things happen throughout the film. The special effects are not great but it is not a film where the special effects are important. This is a must buy for any action film fan and for an organized crime film fan."

one of my top five movies

By JERMINITIS

What's great about it: Look at the cast!
What's not so great: none to think of
"Gunna keep this short and sweet. Didn't love the movie the first time. But, it kept coming on Cinemax and HBO, and I kept watching it. Before I knew it, I was looking at HBO's schedule to see when it was coming on again. Now I own the DVD and I probably watch it once every week or two. The cast could not have been picked any better, especially Ray Winstone as French. This is definitely one of my favorite gangster movies, if not the favorite."

Severely Flawed.
11/10/2007
By arnieb

"In my opinion this film is not Scorcese's best, it's far from it. The performances are very good, but sometimes specific things don't work to the plot favors. The whole cellphone thing is somewhat annoying and you have to keep in mind that The Departed is set in the "now" and it doesn't seem like the screenwriter payed much attention to getting it right, especially with changing technology. Overall, the film is good and the dialogue is excellent...but if you want to watch a really good crime/gangster film, stick to GoodFellas--Scorsese's masterpiece."

Favorite Movie of all time!

What's great about it: Excellent movie
What's not so great: kind of long (but it goes by fast)
"The Departed is my favorite movie of all time. Not only was it directed beautifully, but the acting was fantastic. Leonardo Di Caprio had some of his best acting ever in this movie, it was all very believable. Another good point of this movie was the greusome/ bloody shootouts between Boston's Finnest in the Police Force and the Italian-American Mafia. Jack Nicholson played the Mob-boss Frank Costello and was a very believeable character. After purchasing this movie I watched four times within the next five days! It was that fantastic, in fact I still catch myself looking through my movies and always picking The Departed to watch. BUt make sure that you have a good three hours to watch it because once you start it you won't want to turn it off."

What's great about it: Twists and Turns at every corner!
"This is a Great movie, though there isn't a plethora of action, it keeps your thoughts moving as fast as they can. You never see what's coming next as Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon head each other off, while working almost side by side. A great movie with a well selected cast."
