The Departed

After watching "The Departed" I knew I had to instantly Blog on it.  This is one of the greatest movies that I have seen in awhile.  I knew it was a slightly older movie as it had come out in the early 2000s, but I had never seen it until this week.  In fact, I had never even heard of the movie until a few weeks ago.  I was working out one day and the song, "I'm Shipping Up to Boston" came on the radio.  I liked the song a lot and when I looked it up, I realized that it was the main soundtrack song for this movie.  I went out shopping on Black Friday and found it for $4 and came home and watched it.  I was absolutely stunned by the film.  It is about two guys, one is working for a drug dealer and pretends to be a cop to get more information while the other one is a cop and pretends to be working for the drug dealer to get more information on him so they can catch him.  The movie stars three amazing actors in Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, and Mark Wahlberg.  The film is filled with so much action, mystery, and suspense that I was locked in the entire time.  I would for sure recommend this movie to others and I believe it is an amazing work of art.
