(51 - 65) of 65 OFCS Rating: 92% Fresh Prev < Page   12   A- "Brilliantly acted, enthrallingly told, this vast, operatic saga centers on two men caught between the fear of having their true selves revealed and the fear of hiding themselves so completely they can never come back."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 2.5/4 "What begins as a breakneck descent into blunt cruelty and moral turmoil soon morphs into a cat-and-mouse game encumbered by self-consciously overcooked extravagance."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 4/5 "Apesar de levemente inferior ao longa chinês, este é um filme vigoroso que demonstra a habilidade de seu diretor em conduzir tramas violentas e complexas."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 4/5 "As in most of Scorsese's films, the wages of sin are pretty harsh, but then, so are the wages of virtue."   Film Threat   Pete Vonder Haar 5/5 "Owes a heavy debt to the original version, but this is a masterpiece all its own."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 2/5 "Scorsese revisits old territory in The Departed, and he doesn't do anything he hasn't done brilliantly several times before."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves B+ "Watching some of the best thespians of our era beat the crap out of each other (both literally and figuratively) is one of The Departed's greatest joys."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux B "DiCaprio raises his game to a whole new level in this film."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten A- "This is going to be a contender come the end of the year. It's Scorsese and company at their best."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 8/10 "Although there will be claims of wasted talent, Scorsese's new blockbuster wanna-be combines sizzling dialog with no-holds-barred action for this year's top-of-the-heap gangster flick"   Monsters and Critics   Ron Wilkinson 3/5 "Much splat, little art"   JWR   S. James Wegg 2/4 "Scorsese hurries through scenes with an impatience that suggests boredom. Spontaneous violence doesn't shock us anymore in Scorsese's environments. Even the director's reliable technicians let him down."   Charlotte Weekly   Sean O'Connell 10/10 "Martin Scorsese is a master of the gritty crime drama and this is reminiscent of "GoodFellas" and "Mean Streets.""   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger 3.5/4 "A return to genre for Martin Scorsese, this cops and gangsters film is unqestionably entertaining."   Oscar Guy   Wesley Lovell "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf  (51 - 65) of 65 OFCS Rating: 92% Fresh Prev < Page   12
