Belated Preview Reviews #2: The Departed

I'm not too crazy about the title they picked, but I most definitely want to see this one. The commercial came on TV a week or two ago, and let me tell you...all these gritty personas blazing across the screen, clearly acting their asses off...Leo DiCaprio, Jack Nicholson, Matt Damon...I just sat there agape, saying "why didn't I hear about this before?"

Then I said out loud in front of witnesses, "All this film needs is Marky Mark and I am THERE!!!!" Naturally five seconds later, right at the end of the commercial, who do they bring in...! "...and Mark Wahlberg...!"

So I have to go see it now. I always wanted to see Matt Damon and Marky Mark square off in a real high-intensity mega-acting showdown. So I could see if I can tell them apart then.

No, I'm being serious! I want to see this film. I'll let you know what I think of it.

I'll let you know once I see it. I don't think it's that kind of party. Scorcese doesn't seem like the type.

Oh, and by the way: GOOOOD.

Meaning, it was good. Damn good. Great, maybe.

We'll see how it holds up when weighed in the balance against posterity.

This was Scorcese's best film.
