Most helpful review The Departed

  • Must see Movie

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By Julia Davison from Southend on Sea , 12 Oct 2006

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Brace yourself for this film.... it's a fast-paced, tense, action packed movie which doesnt let up for a minute. My body actually ached afterwards from being tense throughout.

    Yes its a remake of Infernal Affairs but the acting and action here are outstanding. I would advise all to see it - one of the best films I've seen in a while, and believe me, I've watched a lot.

    Will be better the first time you see this so make sure you're comfortable and definitely try and see it on the big screen before renting/buying.

    Wish more people would talk like Dignam (Mark Wahlberg).

  • Undercover in Boston

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By RJNeb2 (922 reviews) from London , 14 Apr 2013
    Boston crimelord Frank Costello has one of his proteges embedded in the police department as a mole. What he doesn't realise is that his new right hand man is a mole from the police department, and soon enough the noose starts to tighten as both bodies realise that they've been infiltrated. A typically bold remake of the Hong Kong thriller 'Infernal Affairs' from a director clearly buzzing on just letting rip, 'The Departed' is a grisly and intense study of betrayal. It offers Nicholson the chance to grandstand like mad - he's undeniably entertaining doing so - but his younger co-stars are right up there with him. Although maybe not as potent as 'GoodFellas', it's still great to see Scorsese so surefooted in the milieu he's made his own.

  • Brilliant Director and Cast!!

    Rated - 4.5 stars  
    By laneyb (256 reviews) from Rochester, Kent , 03 Mar 2013
    Leonardo De Caprio...Matt Damon...JackNicholson... Ray Winstone...and more. What a fantastic line up of guys, such a fabulous cast. Martin Scorsese the greatest director does it again and again. If his name is anywhere near a film, you can guarantee a brilliant watch!! Very action packed from the start carrying on throughout.

  • Brilliant Film

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By a customer , 22 Feb 2013
    Wasn't really sure if I'd like this sort of thing but had been recommended to me, absolutely enjoyed it, a lot of big names and it kept you on the edge of your seat.

  • Di Caprio & Nicholson steal the show!

    Rated - 4.5 stars  
    By PaulHappy (144 reviews) , 02 Feb 2013
    A big name movie - that actually works! Often films packed with big names struggle to make their mark. This one is really well done and has some very credible performances. It also keeps you guessing, has some good twists and is extremely watchable - Di Caprio & Nicholson steal the show!
