Movie Reviews

Rolling Stone - 10/10 by Peter TraversA new American crime classic from the legendary Martin Scorsese, whose talent shines here on its highest beams.
Newsweek - 10/10 by David AnsenThe Departed is Scorsese's most purely enjoyable movie in years. But it's not for the faint of heart. It's rude, bleak, violent and defiantly un-PC. But if you doubt that it's also OK to laugh throughout this rat's nest of paranoia, deceit and bloodshed, keep your eyes on the final frames. Scorsese's parting shot is an uncharacteristic, but well-earned, wink.
ReelViews - 10/10 by James BerardinelliThe original film was gritty and entertaining ("Infernal Affairs"); the new version is a masterpiece - the best effort Scorsese has brought to the screen since "Goodfellas."
Premiere - 10/10 by Glenn KennyA triumphant revisiting of territory in which Scorsese is an unchallenged master -- the crime drama.
L.A. Weekly - 10/10 by Scott FoundasDiCaprio harnesses a terrific, buggy intensity reminiscent of "GoodFellas'" hopped-up Henry Hill (Ray Liotta).
The A.V. Club - 10/10 by Scott TobiasWhen 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.
Miami Herald - 10/10 by Rene RodriguezThis is the most vibrant, exciting and invigorating movie-movie of the year.
Baltimore Sun - 10/10 by Michael SragowThelma Schoonmaker, a Scorsese collaborator for over a quarter-century, did the bull's-eye editing. The moviemaking throughout is swift, unaffected, masterly.
Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertIt is intriguing to wonder what Scorsese saw in the Hong Kong movie that inspired him to make the second remake of his career (after "Cape Fear"). I think he instantly recognized that this story, at a buried level, brought two sides of his art and psyche into equal focus.
NUVO Newsweekly - 10/10 by Edward Johnson-OttThe shocking violence is well-placed. The action scenes are always comprehensible -- no jump cut cheats here -- and the suspense will make you fidget in your seat. What a corker.
