can come close to how good this movie is. Best performance by far was Leonardo Decaprio. One of the best actors right now. If you disagree or didn't like the movie, please tell me why.

Now I know that 'The Departed' is based off of the Hong Kong movie 'WuJianDao', but Scorsese really grabs hold of a great story and brings it to the American Screen. My father grew up in Boston and when we walked out of the theater he couldn't stop talking about how authentic the environment and attitude was. Then there's the acting in which the lead actors (Nicholson, DiCaprio, Damon) not only give stunningly entertaining performances, but you become engulfed in each one's perspective and dilemmas. The smaller roles that of (Baldwin, Walberg, Sheen) are supporting roles that remind me of Jesus Quintana from 'The Big Lebowski', by this I mean that their screen time is limited but they make lasting impressions that you cherish each and every scene they are in, Alec Baldwin especially. The story itself starts off with the basic intro of the players and the setting, but you'll find yourself slowing following each and every plot twist and rooting back and forth for the good guys and for the bad guys. If you're a Scorsese fan, which I am, I think you will appreciate this film. You can clearly see the Scorsese touch ranging from the cinematography and of course the music, it's great to hear "Gimme Shelter" again, but "Comfortably Numb" played in so well. It's another gangster flick from Scorsese, yet this one stands alone because feels so fresh and most would agree Scorsese does gangster films the best; so why not let him. Oscar worthy, the acting I certainly hope; this is DiCaprio's best role since 'The Aviator' which was his best role since 'Gangs of New York', am I seeing a pattern here. But my lasting impression wasn't concerned with the politics of the golden statue; my lasting impression was that I had sat through 2 and half hours of brilliant and especially entertaining storytelling. Thank you Mr. Scorsese.

New video clips have not knocked any difficulty from my good ten. My good ten variations each and every now and back yet by utilising older movies that I even have only watched. I do like cutting-edge movies, yet they hasn't been any for a whilst that I rather fell in love with. except there is one I neglected, my good ten is incredibly previous, yet there's a pair from the early 2000s in it:) My good Ten 10- American elegance 9- Rashomon 8- Wickerman (70s) 7- The Stepford better halves 6- Cinema Paradiso 5- the great Dictator 4- Kill invoice 3- The Wizard Of oz..2- Godfather a million- Thelma And Louise
