Everything this movie has to offer is intense. Fast paced, fun, shocking and all around cool. Much better than the original, Infernal Affairs. Script is very tight and has some sweet lines. Acting is top notch and I can't believe they didn't cast Nicholson as a menacing mob boss sooner.

I absolutely love just about everything this movie has to offer. Leonardo DiCaprio catches some flack for being basically a rich pretty boy, but he's a hell of an actor, and this is his best yet. The casting of Nicholson as a crime boss is inspired, and, as would be expected from Martin Scorsese, this movie is technically marvelous. The entire theme of identity only helps to advance a fantastic crime thriller, filled with humor, tension and great moments of sudden violence.

It can't recreate the magic of Infernal Affairs, though it has its charms. Some things took me out of the movie though. Wahlberg's accent sounded more like a chant from a Lovecraft story, and Nicholson's acting is completely ridiculous. Once people started dying in the final act I didn't really care that much. Maybe because I knew what would happen, maybe because the original is a tighter film that used the paranoia angle better.

An instant classic, unsurprisingly seeing the cast list and the director. The film is gripping to the extreme and tensions run higher and higher as the movie goes on, thanks to the generally excellent all around acting and the direction of the very experienced Scorsese. As the tensions leads into the last section of the film it literally leaves you dumbfounded, and it's incomprehensible to think where the film might end up going. Even then it goes to places you really wouldn't have expected.

It's nice to Scorsese operating in a genre he's comfortable with. The film is tense, gritty, and gripping, with great performances all around; my only complaint is that the film didn't have the same distinctive elegance and style that elevated Goodfellas. Except for the soundtrack, Departed isn't as obviously a Scorsese film, and while others may like this, I kind of miss it.

A closeted gay man associates himself with an older, closeted bisexual man, but struggles to satisfy a woman, who eventually realises she has allowed herself to be deceived into believing that his career success was enough to mean that he embodied an acceptable version of masculinity. My recollection is that in 2006 no critics acknowledged that this film is about the relationship between sexual orientation, sexual performance, social convention and cultural expectations of fathering sons.

This film ostensibly takes place in Boston, yet I don't think I saw a single garage tattoo or pregnant teenager in the entire movie. The characters are clean, articulate, and entirely too creative with their vulgarity. As a Boston movie, Casey Affleck's older brother's Gone Baby Gone hits closer to reality. But as a Boston gangster fantasy, the kind that gets white Americans excited about their remote Irish heritage and distant relation to Whitey Bulger, it's absolutely sensational.

I really, really enjoyed absolutely every bit of it up to the ending. My complaint with it is not the end result but how quickly it was reached. The movie is over 2 hours long and the ending wraps up the movie in what seems like 5 minutes. It just feels rushed and really left me disappointed. Still, everything up to that point was excellent: the acting, the story, the dialog, everything.

Among Scorsese's great works, regardless of its status as a remake. A visceral and amusing crime story, wherein duplicitous identity games are the playing field of machismo displays... which may in fact be a little gay. And though it operates on dramatic irony, by which the viewer knows what the characters don't, the plot takes unexpected and engaging swerves, and its swift and brutal resolution is antithetical to typical Hollywood formulas.

Easily Scorsese's best since GoodFellas. It's gripping, suspenseful, tight, funny, and just damn good. I really enjoyed it. This is virtuoso editing, maybe even better than Schoonmaker's work on Taxi Driver. It's bold and surprising and greatly adds to the storytelling.

I'm really trying not to rate this too highly (as that tends to happen when you just see a movie), but it was excellent. There wasn't a bad performance in the movie, and DiCaprio really stole the show. Amazing story, interesting characters, and an ending that doesn't disappoint (unless that type isn't your cup of tea). If you like Scorsese, you'll like the Departed.

Wahlberg and DiCaprio are the standouts, delivering the greatest and most mature performances of their respective careers to this point. It's a cat and mouse game as two undercover men within the Mass. state police and the Irish mafia try to discover their enemy's identities. It's Scorsese's re-telling of the Chinese Infernal Affairs, but despite borrowing from the overall storyline it has a look and feel all its own. There are few films in existence with a final 30 minutes as intense as this.

With a cast that lets you know the movie is a big deal, it's easy to have high hopes when going to see a movie like this. The Deaparted goes beyond those expectations. Unlike too many others, Martin Scorsese did a brilliant job of putting everyone in their right place. Every actor fits perfectly into their role, and their outstanding performances help to make this fast-paced thriller worth seeing many times. Awesome!

The "plot" develops like this: a man enters a guy's room, says various things about the vagina of the guy's wife, the other talks about the way he's gonna treat his rectum and then they kill each other. Baldwin is ridiculous as usual, Nicholson is spitting on his past, Farmiga is screaming at her anus. What stands out is the very good Mark Wahlberg and the fine score.

I don't care if the film itself is good. Absolutely zero creativity or risk taking involved in making it. Simply rip off a popular Japanese crime drama (many scenes are IDENTICAL to the original), use household name actors, and with Scorsese directing how could this not be a huge hit? You would think that at this point in Scorsese's career that he would have the funding and artistic freedom to fulfill his greatest directorial ambitions, but he instead takes the easy route and banks once again

First and foremost, this movie is a bona-fide wonder for keeping you on the very edge of your seat for over two hours. The suspense is maddening. The story is very theatrical, very deliberate, very obviously symmetrically devised, but it still works well and never seems contrived. This is Scorsese's most exhilirating work and I think his finest since Raging Bull. Fantastic editing and cast.

It's like Scorsese and Monahan took Infernal Affairs and thought, "How can we express our lack of imagination WHILST pandering to Western audiences' false sense of sophistication?" The 60 points are for the early funnies as well as the hot therapist and my lack of association with her as a million other better characters.

"The Departed" was a movie whose premise did not measure up to it's length. Once a viewer has determined who are the good guys and who are the bad guys, then the movie just drags along until near the end. The only sparkling light in this film was Leonardo Dicaprio's performance. His scenes were the most intense and well acted, and the only ones really worth watching at all.

With some hokey acting, dodgy editing, and replacing the cleverness and slick drama of the original with more vulgar violence, this movie has me worried over the state of American movies verus foreign.

This is a lot of fun, even if I spent the entire film wondering why Jack didn't immediately suspect Leo of being the cop. Every once in a while, Mark Wahlberg gives a great performance, even if he's just playing the same role he always does. And because of that, it is funny that he was the only one who got nominated for an Oscar from this film. Also, I really recommend watching rewatching films you haven't seen in nearly two decades.

Benefits from being my introduction to Scorsese, the theater experience really left an impression on 17-year-old me. I'll never forget the collective gasps at the big moments, or the hot minute when everyone cheered for Marky Mark. In hindsight, I do think it's silly that the only woman character is a psychiatrist just to further explore the male leads' headspaces. But this sucker still holds up, even after its element of surprise has faded.

The first half hour is a pretty motley grab-bag (and could've been excised/shortened). But then it tightens up quite a bit...and all cylinders are firing in the acting department (except for Wahlberg, who is notably miscast). Nicholson leads the league with a wonderfully low-key performance. But then, with all the twists and turns, it started to lose me (the elevator scene looked like a Tarantino parody). The suddenly matter of fact style didn't help either. By the finale, it just seemed silly.

The single biggest weakness of the film is the unnecessary character of the shrink, which makes the film look dated just 15 years later. However, the film has enough tension to keep you invested in the lead characters, which makes for an enjoyable viewing.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I actually prefered this remake to the original Infernal Affairs.

Sorry, sensationalized violence and people laughing at gore is not my idea of a good movie. I pretty much hate Mark Wahlberg and my opinions of everyone else in this movie have declined ever since.

Really good movie, but, sorry, Martin Scorsese shouldn't have gotten the Oscar for this movie, but a very long time before that...

Plot holes galore, but the film is so tightly wound that you barely have time to notice. Scorcese keeps it moving with a slick style boasting masterful camera movements and editing. But the movie is carried by its excellent performances from the entire cast. Wahlberg really shines, and I was quite impressed with Farmiga as well. It's certainly not the movie Marty deserved his first Oscar for, but it's never too late and this is a worthy effort. Ace entertainment.

Too long, the ending was disappointing, but the energy it built up before letting down was impressive in its own way.

Deserves to be regarded as highly as Scorsese's greats, it really does. Slick, exciting, tense: certainly one of the best thrillers of the year and probably ever.

Extremely entertaining, amazing work from the entire cast, one of the greatest improvised scenes of all time between Nicholson and DiCaprio, but what does fack mean? They say it a lot.

Some amazing scenes, performances and cuts - but you can't help but feel like Scorsese could've gotten more out of the source material. It's terrific entertainment, but it falls short of his very best, richest work.

DeCaprio's performance was top notch, and the ending always gets me. Mark Walhberg was good too, such an asshole.

This is possibly the worst edited blockbuster I've ever seen and I say that with total conviction. Then I find out it got an Oscar for just that? That's seriously hilarious. I mean, what, all you gotta do is cut loudly mixed music in and out whenever you feel like it and you're a fucking artistic genius? Fuck you.

This movie thinks it's hot shit, and it shows. When Nicholson was signed, he demanded a number of expansions for his character which have zero thematic or narrative relation to the overall film. They stick out badly, and the end result is a totally thematically incoherent mess of a film. Maybe there was a tight draft of The Departed before it was cast, but that version is now smothered by endless concessions to its long list of celebrity attachments.

It's great allright, but the only reason it won the Oscar was due to a really weak field of nominees. Wahlberg in an obvious Joe Pesci role is worth it alone.

A great, twisty crime flick peppered by incredible supporting performances (best: Mark Wahlberg. No, really!) and thrills that don't resort to long, drawn-out shootouts we've seen a hundred times before.

Outstanding cast, outstanding script, outstanding directing. Even considering how great it is from the very beginning, it's not until the last 30 minutes that it becomes REALLY excellent. There's a vast amount of enjoyment to be had here. It's one of those movies that everyone has to see, and that will be known as a classic in the future.

Yet another great film by the master Scorsese. This film has a great script, the story keeps you glued to your seat. The actors really work well together.

This is what Infernal Affairs would look like if you took away all the style and suave of the characters and replaced it all with needless character development that doesn't work and lots of swearing. It's a decent enough remake, but ultimately it's mediocre when compared to the source material. Mark Wahlberg is the only really good thing about this when you compare it to Infernal Affairs.

A compelling, brilliant, smart, organized and edgy Crime Drama with incredible acting from the entire cast. An influential film for the new millenium, and one of Scorcese's best of all-time.

Rewatch. First time in about seven years and I'm so glad I went back to it. It's Scorsese not only adapting a Hong Kong police thriller, but acing the style, the editing, the beats, everything.

I hate Mark Wahlberg so, so much. Takes Infernal Affairs (great movie) and adds a ton of unnecessary bloat. I guess I was the only person on the planet that was bored to tears during this. Oh well.

A very interesting film about betrayal, double agents, crime, and the police. It's definitely worth seeing at least once, though I expect it would lose something in multiple viewings. The acting is quite impressive, DiCaprio is actually good even compared with Nicholson. Needless to say, Scorsese and his editor have gotten impressive preformances all around.
