After completing The Departed, I was left with a mixed bag of feelings.
The more I thought about the film, the more justified I felt. Hence, it gets a '1'. The Departed is so fast-paced that
none of the characters has been properly developed. Basically, it's all about cell phones and whacking people.
The plot sucks while the acting looks overdone. Ditto for the constant profanity. Leonardo DiCaprio thinks he's Robert De Niro.
Matt Damon and Mark Wahlberg seem to have gotten off the sets of
Good Will Hunting and Boogie Nights,
respectively. By the way, how the fuck is Marky Mark an actor? He doesn't know how to emote like a human
being; hence, he's been making shit up as he goes along.
All in all, I hope Martin Scorsese enjoys his Oscar by selling himself out; he's now a hack.
