I was excited to see The Departed before reading this, but now I'm pumped:
DiCaprio makes his next step from The Aviator. Damon continues to ascend. Nicholson is terrifc, though not chewing as much scenery as you might expect
This might be a truly great movie. (A 15 minute trim of the first act would help.) And while, in "Old Scorsese" tradition, this is an unlikely Oscar Best Picture player, you never know. I would be chasing acting, writing, directing, and craft nods in a big way if I was WB.
I will continue to visit enjoyed the reading thanks

I am so, so, so in love with the ad campaign too. I'm not a Scorsese movie person in the least, but it's got me so ready for this movie.
