I finished The Departed today. Scorcese's take on Boston gang life. Two imbedded FBI informers.

This is such a shitty movie that I do not want to write about it.

Relentlessly violent and not a single character we can admire let alone like.

The entire thing, however, is filmed in Boston very much in our old neighborhood so there is redemption among the corrupt cops and FBI people as they do their thing around Beacon Hill and South Boston.

Jack Nicholson is a Whitey Bulger type character. It was done much better in a couple of other films.

I would not want to see this movie again, surely, and I did FF to get it over with. After all it is almost three hours long.

So it is a 1 out of Netflix5.
