this year, and one of the better movies in the past three years.

I think this is one of Decaprio's better films. I complained several years ago regarding him in the Gangs of New York--he wasn't a formidable opponent to play opposite the monstrosity played by Daniel Day Lewis. Hence I never believed that he could battle Lewis' character.

For whatever reason, I didn't care for DiCaprio playing Howard Hughes, and found that movie boring with the exception of Kate Blanchett's performance.

But DiCaprio has grown up and put on a little muscle, and I thought he was terrific in "The Departed." And so was Wahlberg.

Music is always used to bolster weak moments; the more music, the worse the movie. One possible exception: Glory. nt - clarkjohnsen 08:26:12 10/16/06 (1)
