Wow, THE DEPARTED as his worst work? \:o


I still have a few films of his to see, but yes. I can honestly say it's the worst of what I've seen. Not that I disliked it, it just seemed really bland and mediocre compared to the other films he's made.


I agree completely. I talked about this before when he won his Oscar for this movie. I felt it was a political award and he won it because he deserved it for movies he made in the past, not for The Departed.

The only thing I liked about The Departed was Mark Wahlberg's character, and I'm not even a fan of his. I liked the character a lot. That's not to say the other actors performances were bad, but they just didn't leave an impression the way other great movies do.
