The Departed
#11 in my 2007 movie challenge was The Departed, in a theater with good popcorn. I thought this film was well worth the effort and expense to see away from home, and also that it deserved the Best Picture Oscar. All the performances were solid, particularly those in smaller roles. I was also very impressed by DiCaprio. Scorcese took a Hong Kong action film and adapted it to South Boston. Some griped that he simply remade a movie. I think it was an impressive transposition. My only quibble was the very last shot of an animal–alright, already, I got it.
