The Departed - four stars
What a movie. Jack Nicholson, Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Alec Baldwin, Mark Wahlberg, and Martin Sheen are phenomenal. The story is great, with Damon playing a cop working for Irish mafia kingpin Nicholson, and DiCaprio playing a cop under deep cover in Nicholson's outfit. If the movie has a single fault, its in the length - it gets slow at times, and they could have trimmed 20-30 minutes of fluff out of there. Outside of that, it is just fantastic, on the same level as Goodfellas. At least the most annoying actress of all time, Lorraine Bracco, is not in this movie!
Later this week, The Prestige and School for Scoundrels, which are in my possession!
