The Departed

...Billy and Colin’s doubled-and-different struggles are cleverly illustrated by surveillance and communications technology...

It's Scorsesean, and he's in full bloom.

...a big, brash, splatteringly violent mob opera starring Jack Nicholson giving it the full Pavarotti...

In making 'The Departed', Scorsese has retained the essential plot structure of 'Infernal Affairs' but has transformed the movie into something truly his own.

...director Martin Scorsese returns with breathtaking assurance to the arena in which he is at his best: the gritty and complex crime drama.

Watching this new film by Scorsese is tantamount to falling in love again with the brash, cinematic bad boy from New York City, the little "Italianamerican"...

When a director of Scorsese's caliber is working at the top of his game, it's a reminder of why we go to the movies in the first place.

Scorsese's film, for much of its 150 minutes, rocks violently, passionately, urgently.
