Re: The Departed
Brilliant.
I'd have to concur with Mr. Roeper in saying it was the best movie of the year so far. Great performances across the board. Specifically Nicholson and Wahlberg who had some great moments. And of course, DiCaprio and Damon are always going to be just as awesome.
The direction was practically flawless. Great dialogue. Smart.
Basically, I haven't seen a movie this good in a long, long time.
