The Departed - Recensies

Scorsese's film, for much of its 150 minutes, rocks violently, passionately, urgently.

It's Scorsesean, and he's in full bloom.

...Billy and Colin’s doubled-and-different struggles are cleverly illustrated by surveillance and communications technology...

When a director of Scorsese's caliber is working at the top of his game, it's a reminder of why we go to the movies in the first place.

...director Martin Scorsese returns with breathtaking assurance to the arena in which he is at his best: the gritty and complex crime drama.

Watching this new film by Scorsese is tantamount to falling in love again with the brash, cinematic bad boy from New York City, the little "Italianamerican"...

...a big, brash, splatteringly violent mob opera starring Jack Nicholson giving it the full Pavarotti...

In making 'The Departed', Scorsese has retained the essential plot structure of 'Infernal Affairs' but has transformed the movie into something truly his own.

...this is Scorsese's film all the way because of his understanding of the central subject of so much of his work: guilt.

Back to the streets and with a stellar cast, Martin Scorsese proves once again that he’s the master of urban storytelling — and of thrillingly violent filmmaking.

Kraftfullt gangsterdrama.
