Please rate movie 1 to 5 stars
A fairly good re-make of an original Chinese movie called Infernal Affairs.
The Departed was a very enjoyable film. Violent and intriging. My husband and grown children thoroughly enjoyed it. Jack Nickolson was his amazing self and I believe it will be nominated the an oscar for his performance. Leo and Matt were just as good, but Jack is Jack. It kept us going and peeked our interest. Excellent film. Waiting for that oscar nomination. Toronto, Ontario
amazing, havent seen a movie this good in YEARS, honestly 1 of my fav movies for sure...GO SEE IT!!!
WHALBERG ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS, THANK YOU! YOU ARE AWESOME! YOU MADE THIS MOVIE! YOU WILL DEFINETLY BE A TRUE HOLLYWOOD LEGEND SOME DAY!
Sensational movie, Scorsese outdid himself this time, I can`t remember when I`ve left the theatre feeling like I was so truly entertained. Definitely an edge og your seat movie!
Another Scorses home run!
The best movie I have seen since Mystic River. Before this film I thought Loenardo DiCaprio was an OK actor. He is no Jack Nicholson but don’t be surprised if someday he is. He did an awesome job on this one. I truly believed his being stressed out. Matt Damon was also believable. Mark Wahlberg, Martin Sheen and Alec Baldwin gave us their best and it shows. Good job guys. What can I say about Jack ? Once again, outstanding. This film looks like it was directed by one of the greatest directors of our time. Wait a minute, it was. Hats off to Martin Scorsese.
excellent movie!!! I loved it!
A little too much gratuitous violence; nevertheless an excellent, entertaining movie!
it sucked, started goood, ended verrrrrrrry bad, totally loses you.
Totally fun to watch. Shocking in some parts and hilarious in others. I loved Alec Baldwin and Mark Whalberg in this one - Very funny characters and total scene stealers. See this one and be prepared for a "bloody" good time.
I haven`t been thrilled about a movie since X-men 3. The Departed was excellent. I`m not a real big Dicaprio fan but this was by far his best performance in my opinion. Matt Damon played a good bad guy..although his accent reminded me of Good Will Hunting. Excellent movie. Martin should get an Oscar nomination..again.
The acting is out of this world - especially Jack and Leo. Each scene is a masterpiece in dialogue and acting. Great script and a great film.
Great entertainment, suspense until the last few seconds of show
Awesome! Awesome! AWESOME!
The best movie of the year! A great cast, excellent acting, and an amazing story! This film will win Oscars all around! A must see film!
2.5 hrs; you`d never know it. Very well written and acted by all, not to mention entertaining from start to finish. Just when you think the movie has come to it`s fruition, there`s a little something extra for you to think about. I don`t usually believe in giving 5 stars, but there comes a time when you have to say, "yeah ok, that was great"
I would like it MUCH more if i haven`t watch infernal affair... since i watched both, i had to compare and yes infernal affair is better no doubt , but i guess departed is funnier especially the ending.
This movie had the possibility to be great, (in the beginning) however, the story was drawn out and the ending was far less of a twist than advertised. Mark Whalberg stole the movie however and should be considered for a possible oscar nod.
Masterpiece.
Best movie of the year so far that I have seen. Great characters, great story line, great acting. A movie well worth the price of addmission
absolutely fantastic
Worth the money...Go see it...Alot of twists...HAts off to Matrin Scorcese..AGAIN
Jack`s Back!!! Incredible acting from an all star cast...One of the best movie`s of the year...Great story...acting and directing is phenomenal just like all Scorsese movies!!!
Very good movie, the acting was great. But it was hard to get into because I have seen a movie very, very, very similar to this one called "interanl affairs" is was a movie made in Hong Kong in 2001.
Great movie!Nicholson was incredible!I`m not a big DiCaprio fan but he was great.Ending was abrupt and still left some issues unanswered.
Personally I think if you don`t like this movie, that means you didn`t get any of what`s going on in this movie! There are many duplicity in the characters that are much in depth than many other movies from Hollywood. You`ve got to put yourself into Leonardo and Matt`s shoes in order to picture how they feel. Matt`s character has many contradiction because he wants to become a good person but couldn`t because of Nick`s existence. This is a great movie!!! Everybody should LIKE this movie~
Incredible remake of Infernal Affairs, which I find is even better than this one, but the english version is stunning as well, with amazing actors like Jack, Leonardo and Matt. Obviously, I think Leonardo done his best job in his acting career, definitely a chance to win Oscar this year. I can`t wait for the DVD to come ou!!!!! =)
With these stars and this director it had to be good. The curses and violence was over the edge but the movie was enjoyable. You know all the key players and it it kept you guessing how it would end.
yes i will chat about him just as everyone else has, mark whalberg. this guy just keeps getting robbed by hollywood. his appearance on screen is impeccable! when you watch this movie ,it is exactly like what others have mentioned; you cant get enough of this awesome actor. hollywood! give this guy some recognition!
i just saw this movie over the past weekend(2nd weekend in) and i have to say WOW! this movie had suprises, suprises and more suprises! Scorcese, you can add another masterpeice to your already elite portfolio. MARK WHALBERG, HOW DO YOU DO IT? this man is a genius! Mark Whalberg was absolutely awesome!
Just simply astonishing. The actors were amazing.
great actors but horrible movie. what a waste of great talent
Incredible! Strong performances from everyone. Worth seeing just for the acting alone.
Though it was one of the most violent and they could have given up a few choice curses, I found the movie really enjoyable. I`m not sure about the ending though. Though it seems fitting to the way the rest of it went in respect to the violence, it still would have been nice to see some other ending, it just felt too sudden.
Great plot, but horribly violent. Then again, it`s Scorcese, so what do you expect? Engrossing rather than entertaining.
I hated it, it was long and boring and had no ending
I liked the storyline and the acting, but I thought the vulgarity was way over the top and spoiled the movie for me!
ENDING ruins the whole movie!!!!!!!!!
Excellent movie. Enough said.
Absolutley an outstanding movie. I haven`t seen a good movie like this in a long time.
Alec Baldwin was hilarious!
Great movie.I have seen chinese version also, but this was great.
Started out well, Mark Walberg stole the movie with his performance. Fell flat during the second half. Only three stars for me.
Awesome movie... great acting. Finally some quality movies.
Excellent cast. You gotta love Jack! Very funny!
wow
Ok, Being a HK cinema fan myself, I went in the theatre thinking that no way this would be beter than the original. But I came out thinking that movie was just as good, or even better. Martin Scorcese made it different, in more than one way. I enjoyed it a lot, and wouldnt mind going to see it again. Superb acting, especially from leo, He will def get an award for this. You can say mark walbergs` char was not that significant, but hell i would surely miss it if he wasnt there lol. I give 5 stars
If you like gangster type films and you don`t like this one, then, you got some serious problems.
I have not seen "Infernal Affairs", but "The Departed" is definitely one of the BEST mafia/gangster movie in a long time. Everyone in it did great - Leonardo, Matt, Jack, Alec - especially MARK WAHLBERG who definitely stole the show. It is also hard to compare "Infernal Affairs" with "The Departed" since the culture and background of the two movies are so different. For those of you who is still debating whether it is worth it - GO SEE IT - it`s definitely a great movie.
