This has its moments - what Scorsese film does not? -- but over a two-and-a-half-hour stretch it huffs and puffs and still doesn't blow the house down.

The legendary director successfully converts a tight little thriller into a grand opera, and it's the best work he's done in the last 10 years.

[A] very entertaining, densely layered, just-short-of-fabulous melodrama.

As in his remake of Cape Fear, Scorsese has mucked up a B-movie he professes to love: producing something full of twists but devoid of that lovely, fluttery, rare thing: surprise.

What makes this a Scorsese film, and not merely a retread, is the director's use of actors, locations and energy, and its buried theme. I am fond of saying that a movie is not about what it's about; it's about how it's about it.

Not only is The Departed not among the best of Scorsese's films; it's not even the best version of this film.

The Departed is an example of a cinematic master seeking to live up to the veneration with which he is regarded by his pupils.

You'll have to go back to GoodFellas to find a Marty movie this fun, this enamored of language, of ethnic slurs, of "Gimme Shelter," of explosive violence. Scorsese's return to form is the year's most dynamic film. Really, how could it not be?

The dialogue crackles wittily and obscenely, and the set-pieces are superbly staged.

This crime thriller is a profane, blood-drenched joy to watch.

The Departed has enough tension to keep you engrossed, and enough color for ten crime pictures. Scorsese obviously adores his expensive, expansive ensemble.
