delivering nonsense since 1991

The Departed (2006)

The Oscar night is long gone, but we decided we would spam tm91.net with more movie-related posts; but to save our precious time — while smartly trying to avoid admitting that we’re lazy — we’re giving the world our view in condensed form. Until we come up with a better name, we call it Duel, however, this is not a duel in a popular sense, we’re just shooting without rules, and not at each other, but at the stars. Movie stars.

The proof shot is Mr Scorsese’s virgin Oscar-decorated flick, The Departed.

Enjoy our intellectual banalities.

Actors' performances make this flick enjoyable. L. Di Caprio, M. Damon, J. Nicholson, M. Walhberg, A. Baldwin - they simply take turns in stealing the show.

Smart and subtly crafted movie. Di Caprio is stunning. Worth seeing again and again.

Were you guys watching the same movie? Sure the performances were great but what else can you expect from a cast of that calibre? Bottom line…was it as good as Infernal Affairs? If you’re gonna remake a movie…you have to come with something different? Ultimately though, the most disappointing aspect of the film, was Scorcese stops innovating with this movie and started copying…the editing in particular was very Guy Ritchie. If you want to see some Classic Scorcese (at his best), check out The King of Comedy or Taxi Driver. I will give the movie one point of praise though…it wins the award for the funniest Job Interview scene of all time.
