Review of The Departed (2006) by David Ansen for Newsweek — 24 Jul 2013
The Departed is Scorsese's most purely enjoyable movie in years. But it's not for the faint of heart. It's rude, bleak, violent and defiantly un-PC. But if you doubt that it's also OK to laugh throughout this rat's nest of paranoia, deceit and bloodshed, keep your eyes on the final frames.
Scorsese's parting shot is an uncharacteristic, but well-earned, wink.
