The Departed

Blood Diamond - veritimantti (2006) was the film which turned me into a fan of Leonardo DiCaprio, and he must have been on a roll that year as The Departed (2006) was not only made that year, but is just as good as Blood Diamond with again phenomenal acting from almost all.

The good and the bad:

• The film is 14 years old at the point of writing this, and is still as good as the day it was released first saw it.
• The acting is phenomenal with the award (in my opinion) going to Leonardo DiCaprio .
• One of the beauties about this film is: Just as you think you've grasped what is going on it throws another twist in.
• The only let down for me (and it is minor irritation) was Matt Damon, whom I'm not a fan of or his acting.

With all the great reviews it should do without saying that The Departed (2006) is outstanding! A fantastic great story, with twists and turns and that will keep you guessing to the end - and even then you will mostly have guessed wrongly.

The film has it all... suspense, thrills and tense moments... the brilliance of the The Departed (2006) cannot be overstated. A must watch!

So this is one of those rare moments where 10 out of 10 is deserved.

Recommended.
