Movie Review - The Departed
The Departed (2006)
directed by Martin Scorsese
rating: 2 out of 5 cravats
seen on the screen at Oxford Studio Cinema
Martie, haunted by past success, expectations, and reputation, can't make a movie that makes sense anymore. Since the stage is a half-assed half-Boston instead of a full-on Cinecittà extravaganza, the two-and-a-half hour running time drags as awkwardly and as senselessly as Martin Sheen's accent, Will Hunting's performance, William Monahan's screenplay, Thelma Schoonmaker's editing, and - not least - the Sausage King of New York's direction.
