The Departed

‘The Departed’ is one of the greatest films I have watched from the 2000’s. Along with one of the greatest Scorsese films of all time. Don’t let the 2:15 runtime intimidate you, this film’s pacing is amazing and is so entertaining throughout the film. Every actor is this give some of their greatest performances. DiCaprio, Damon, Nicholson, Farmiga, Wahlberg. It’s one to thing to have a stacked cast, it’s another thing to have a stacked cast who gives some of their best work. And I think Scorsese should be given some credit for that. For example, the movie ‘Don’t Look Up’ has an insane cast, but the film is so bland and boring due to writing and directing. Such a great film overall. Definitely one I’ll be coming back to regularly. Soundtrack: 8.9/10
