I have been meaning to talk about this movie. Understand this, I am a movie fan, I go to the
theater almost every week. I am open to watching pretty much anything, except horror movies. My
philosophy is " I don't pay to be scared, I pay to be
entertain".
I went to see "
The Departed" with really high hopes, I had read the reviews and read every article; everything was telling me that this should be a good movie. I came up short, "good" doesn't even begin to describe it. It's the best movie I have seen in a long,
long time.
Everything turn out well, it is like a puzzle and all of the pieces fit. The
writing was great, the direction too... but the acting was magnificent,
Leonardo Dicarpio was amazing! Amazing! He was finally
believable as a grown up! Matt Damon was great too; but my favorite was Mark
Wahlberg. He was blunt! He was an ass! He was awesome!!
Overall, perfect crime / mafia / cop movie, nice ending... unexpected... I believe in the magic of
movie making once again!!
