Review of The Departed (2006) by Brandon O — 17 Jan 2015
Another overrated Scorsese film. The storyline is fable-like. Two tough 'Southies' in Boston go opposite directions: One becomes a crooked cop; the other becomes an informer within the mob. Naturally each winds up trying to nail the other.
The hoakiest aspect has to be that they both start sleeping with the same psychologist. Anyway, the plot keeps getting more elaborate and preposterous till everybody's dead. Did I mention how inappropriate and even grating the musical score is?
