The Departed (2006/Scorsese) Excellent comeback film. While Scorsese's work since Casino has had some good moments here and there, he hasn't had a 3 star film in over a decade. Cast was great, especially Alec Baldwin and Nicholson. Story was convoluted but interesting, and while it dragged a little in the middle, the ending made up for it. Scorsese opts for a pretty simple lighting style, except for one notable exception where Nicholson is cast in a devilish red glow in one scene. And some of the trademark Scorsese camera work was back. Overall, great film.
