Movie Review (The Departed)

The Departed is about the convergence of the paths of two men on opposite sides of the law. Both men are cops but for very different reasons. This movie was around 2:30 long and for the first two hours the cast and the writing will absolutely dazzle you. There is some stupid artsy cinematography but that's to be expected these days. The cast is stellar and they play their parts very impressively. The script/screenplay is dynamic and twisting and takes you down several interesting paths, I was thoroughly engaged during most of the movie. The downsides were the overly abusive language which, at times, was gratuitous and not realistic. The gore from the deaths was extremely realistic so beware of that if you are squeamish. Now for the part that made this the second worst movie I have ever seen

WARNING****SPOILER****WARNING

The script writer apparently did not want to wrap up all of the interesting plot twists and turns he created during the course of the movie. Instead of working out about four details he decides to kill everyone in the movie. When I say everyone I mean he kills five of the eight main characters that you have become acquainted with throughout the film. Their deaths also do not tie up several oddities such as:
How did "the love interest" understand what was on "the CD"
What was in "the envelope"
What about "the baby"
Where did Dingham come from?
What happens to "the love interest"

I think I would still recommend seeing this film since the first part is stellar. It was worth he $8 for that, but is weird at the end.
