I put off The Departed as I always disliked Leo as and actor, couldn't stomach Alec Baldwin, never cared for Matt Damon and thought Marky Mark was always a bit gooberish in his roles. Finally saw it and really enjoyed it so much I watched it a second time the next day; one of the only movies I enjoyed more watching it a second time putting together so many subtle plot lines. Totally changed my minds about all of those actors.

Jack deserved an Oscar for that role as Frank Costello; *so* many memorable lines from him throughout the whole film. Wahlberg in my opinion was robbed for the supporting Oscar too.

Easily one of my top 10 or 20 films.
