Like what? I admit not all his movies were great, but what other mediocre ones does he have? I can only think of two right off hand, next to the Departed: After Hours and Kundun. He has way more great films.

Nah. Careers have been made from amazing performances in mediocre movies.

I agree here. How he got an Oscar nom I'll never know.

Hells no. I actually can't think of one other movie where his role is similar to the one in The Departed.

Yes. Obviously the point to it was to show how another person (the psychiatrist) was out there living a double life fucking Damon and Dicapprio, and even though they were both living double lives they didn't know that someone else was doing the same thing to them emotionally. That's a good idea. But the execution of it was really forgettable, almost to the point where it seemed thrown in half-heartedly, since the love story doesn't seem to go anywhere.
