The Departed and The Road to Guantanamo

what is it about male soap operas? year after year we have the ’’great’’ and ’’overlooked’’ male directors like Scorcese put another male mob drama...like there’s so much more to learn after you’ve seen one...at least kudos to Scorcese for putting together a movie from an ironic outsider ethnic lens looking at another outsider ethnic lens with flashes of irony when it isnt channelling David Mamet. David Mamet is a fucking bore when it comes to minorities and stereotypes and Scorcese still seems to have a real issue with strong women. The over the top performance delivered by that old queen Jack Nicholson is not as interesting as the one that DiCaprio delivers. Damon is unlikeable and as stolidly psychotic as the third figure in this trilogy. Good suspense, anyway.

The Road to Guantanamo is worth watching for several reasons.
