Last weekend I saw The Departed, quite possibly the best movie in the past 3, no, no 5 years. Depending on who you talk to my opinions and critics of movies are in left field, but this movie simply delivered on all counts for me. Hard to believe since it didn't have Keanu Reeves in it.

However, like all gangster movies, it's a rehash of Shakespeare. Boy/girl feuding families and in the end everyone dies. But seriously, it's a freakin blast the whole way, if you don't mind blood and the F-bomb being dropped every other sentence.
