The Departed
A friend of mine overseas had seen The Departed and recommended it to me - I figured it won best picture, so why not? Before we left for the theater I checked out the keywords on IMDb, and I just had to laugh at this collection:
I'm trying to think "what kind of person would this movie appeal to?" I am going to go with fans of Mafia films, because it is heavy on that type of intrigue, although I'm not sure Jack Nicholson's gang can really be counted as Mafia.
- Shot To Death
- Shot In The Face
- Shot In The Chest
- Shot In The Head
- Shot In The Forehead
- Shot In The Knee

Oh Oh, you missed the point -- its based on real historical figures.
Whitey Bulger= Nicholson--still on the FBI most wanted list
John Connolly and John Morris--two FBI agents gone wrong--they worked with Mob figure Bulger. Look them up on your search engine. Times in Boston have been every bit as bad as portrayed in the movie--perhaps worse.
