Dir: Martin Scorcese.
I've noticed Scorcese has this thing about ambiguous endings where every one must die in order to avoid making a moral judgement. Its like he has an aversion to story telling, prefering to focus only one events instead of meaning. I suppose one is meant to find meaning in the film, but frankly, when there is no point t the story then whats the point of looking for the point? 'The Departed' wasn't as bad as 'Gangs of New York', but it was still as predictable as most of Scorcese's latter works. When characters died, I didn't care. I felt nothing. No surprise or remorse. In some cases the most tedious aspect of the death was how predictable it had been.
Having said that the only character who's death I was waiting for, didn't. A slight deviation from the down ward trend but not enough to stimulate any enthusiasm.
