BSR writes about all things film.

« Tee it up | Main | Emanuel Levy, Sasha Stone on Little Children »

Rolling Stone calls The Departed "a new American crime classic from the legendary Martin Scorsese, whose talent shines here on its highest beams."

Here's Peter Travis' review of the film.  Damn, the reviews for this film our outstanding.  I don't see how it doesn't become a serious contender for Best Picture.  Sounds like P. Martin's early suggestion (dare I say prediction) that Scorsese will win best director may come true. 

Go see this film.
