"The Departed"
Last night, Stephen, Sarah and I watched The Departed. It has an allstar cast: Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, Mark Wahlberg, Alec Baldwin, Ray Winstone. A big list of impressive names. We'd heard a lot about this movie, as it won the Academy Award for Best Director, Martin Scorcese.
But was it good? Yeah. I liked it. The story was fast-paced and interesting. It told of two guys (one played by DiCaprio and one by Damon). One was a cop and worked undercover within the mob, while the other was a cop solely to work as an informant for the mob. They are each looking for the 'rat' and, of course, elude each other until the very end.
The mob boss, played by Nicholson, was great. As always, Jack Nicholson was a star.
And Leo? As cute as ever! 
My only complaint about the movie was that it was too long. I don't even know how long it was, but I finally got to bed at 1:15am! Too late for me.
Do I recommend it? Yes, I do. Good movie, fast-paced, great acting. Just make sure you've set aside 2+ hours for it.
