Martin Scorsese has yet to let me down. Then rarely has Leonardio DiCaprio either. The two seem a match made in heaven. With 26 total Oscar nominations on the three previous films these two worked on together its no surprise that they saw fit to make another film together.
The film is based on a novel by Dennis Lehane (Mystic River), and centers on two U.S. marshals who are sent to investigate the disappearance of a patient from a hospital for the criminally insane. Things start to go downhill when a riot on the island has them trapped, and not to mention some events that are outside of the realm of the everyday.
I loved Gangs of New York as well as the Aviator, and Departed tops them both.
Is there any end to the quality we might see from these two?
