The Departed (DVD)

Great performances from Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon plus great support from the likes of Martin Sheen, Mark Wahlberg, Alec Baldwin and our own Ray Winstone. However, as always, Jack Nicholson steals the show as the psycotic, paranoid and violent Irish-American ganster boss.

One of Scorcese's best films (and that's saying something!) great screenplay adaption of some old Japanese film, lots of great shots of Boston, superb soundtrack top-class acting and an intricate plot which builds and builds the suspense to a fantastic climax.

Watch this film. Better still buy it and watch it a few times (I,ve watched it 4 times so far and noticed new bits every time)

Loved the cast, Jack Nicholson is amazing in it.
Even Marky Mark is great in it!
Not really into extras but the film itself is amazing, i remember seeing it at the cinema and thinking "this is a film that i need to buy on DVD".
I've not seen the original "Internal Affairs" so i cant really compare the two but all in all a must see film if you like gangster/thriller films.

When you see a movie directed by Martin Scorsese with an all star line up of the likes of Jack Nicholson, Leonardo Dicaprio and Matt Damon you expect something good and this film really does these expectations justice.

In my opinion this is the best DVD of the year so far, it has a great story line, excellent characters with much depth, portrayed superbly by the top draw actors who play them, plenty of twists and action and has been very intelligently thought out, one to watch for sure and I feel worthy of an excellent rating.

DiCaprio is utterly brilliant in this and really steals the show as the paranoid undercover cop. Before this film, I thought of him as just a pretty-boy who girls go weak at the knees about. But in this film he really acts. Matt Damon has the tougher part as the inside mole but does a great job with it, and Jack Nicholson should have got an Oscar for the part he played as mob boss Frank Costello. He brings that touch of witty humour that could not be matched by any other actor and it is Jack at his usual best.
