The Departed Reviews

Apr 13, 2025

I could have taken a different ending,but the ride there was absolutely fantastic.

The best of its genre IMO

An absolute must see. I loved every minute of the film. A great plot for an iconic movie.

Outstanding casting, phenomenal plot. Escaping being discovered with the social security trick was weak, the only hole in plot. Nicholson character was too smart to get tricked by that.

One of my favorite Scorsese films! Shout out to the dialogue writer of Oscar nominated Mark Wahlberg's "Dignam" character.

The problem is that I have seen different cuts of this movie and it substantially changes it. In some of them, I think including the official release, it is really very cohesive and good.

So many twists and turns in this rat chase, keeping you intrigued figuring out who has the upper hand every moment. The film is perfect, cast is perfect, script, line delivery, everything. I also can’t decide who was more handsome to look at amongst the three leading men of Mark Wahlberg, Matt Damon, and Leo DiCaprio.

What else hasn't been said about this film? Fantastic acting with a story full of twists and betrayals. Brilliant

Scorsese at his peak, ensemble cast at their peak. Gritty, funny, emotionally gripping you as this tremendous film unfolds. Gangster cop drama that sits on the top shelf.

Epic! Instead of analyzing the movie, It’s easyer to say what’s wrong with it: Nothing!

I don’t think I have ever given 5 stars before, toyed with 4.5, but it’s too good for that… 4.75 perhaps?

I would go see Martin Scorsese direct traffic. So I’m not exactly impartial. However, I will admit that this film covers territory he and others have gone over before and done it better. The things that make this entry stand out are Jack Nicholson playing a character again and not playing Jack, Whalberg stealing the leads thunder and Scorsese directing a film about the mob that doesn’t constantly make us think of “Goodfellas” in some way. There are a few drawbacks such as the casting of DiCaprio who still looks like he hasn’t hit puberty and a few metaphors that we are not very subtly hit over the head with, but as a whole this is a good entry—not great—just good.

A masterclass in filmmaking

Pure excellence. One of Scorsese's finest!

They just don't make movies like this anymore. This is one of the best movies ever made. The plot, actors, cinematography is all just outstanding. The twists and turns keep you on the edge of your seat and the other than perfect I don't know what else to say.

Insanely good movie. The cast is next level and the storyline plays out so well. Damon, Dicaprio, Nicholson, Baldwin, Sheen and Wahlberg just to name a few in the killer ensemble

A true modern classic
