...Scorsese’s love letter to Boston, “The Departed.” TAKE A SHOT… 1. Whenever Jack Nicholson scares the shit out of you. 2. Whenever Leonardo DiCaprio cries like a girl. 3. Whenever you remember that no matter how badass Mark Wahlberg is, he still sang “Good Vibrations” with the rest of the funky bunch. 4. Anytime anyone in the movie has a drink. 5.

The main characters in this new one are a cop father (Robert Duvall) and his two sons, one a cop (Mark Wahlberg), the other (Joaquin Phoenix) the manager of a Brighton Beach nightclub crawling with Russian mobsters. The police are portrayed as stalwart but mostly dewy do-gooders, so they fade in screen appeal next to the Russky tough guys - nothing like a monster mobster with a guttural accent to infuse...
