Review of The Departed

The Departed (2006)
1/10
People are nuts, film is an overdone disjointed mess
19 October 2006
This film has to be the most over rated and over hyped film ever. First off, Nicholson is terrible in his hole, miscast and over the top bad.

2nd, The film has no real pointed direction, it wanders around aimlessly as if it is searching for a real thought out plot, only never to find one.

Murder, Death, Murder Death << that is the entirety of this film, its a piece of garbage, seen many times before.

Bas cop = good cop = bad cop = well he might be semi bad, no wait he might be semi good, murder, death, murder death..

People here saying this is this film's director's best work? ROFL!!

Are the movies so bad these days that people will convince themselves " if a big name director has directed it, it must be good"?

I give it 4 stars only because Dicaprio did an excellent job of acting, whereas "Jack" was terrible ( you guys also need to put away the Nicholson fan boy attitude, his acting was over the top terrible, I would nominate him for a Rasberry if I could for this film)

Damon was OK, the rest just OK.

I will make it my business to see "Internal Affairs" which cannot be worse than this film.

The bad;

1. no pointed direction 2. no real plot, film wanders around looking for one 3. no motive or character definition "why did they do what they did"? 4. Nicholoson over the top over acted miscast >> plays the roll in a cross between his roles in "as Good as it Gets" and "Batman" 6 same old bad cop, good cop, well decent cop, well could be bad cop" regurgitated trash.

If this film gets nominated for anything, maybe I will end up "with a bullet in the head" as it appears everyone else did in this film.

Don't waste your money!!
