The Departed
Sometimes I read other people's reviews; rarely do I end up agreeing with the reviewer's assessment of whatever it is (except with art, for some reason). I read a review of The Departed when it came out, and the reviewer managed to convince me that this movie was hardly worth watching.
That person was wrong. This movie was fantastic. It was smart and funny, with a tour de force of acting on display. There were 2 small things I didn't like about it, but they come nowhere close to affecting my overall assessment.
One of the reasons I was sure I wouldn't like this movie much was because Leonardo diCaprio is in it. But I was wrong about that. He has really improved with age. He takes his acting seriously and does an amazing job in this flick. Plus, he's really sexy in this one (the first of his films I can say that about).
Yeps. A must-see.
