I realize this is quite a statement, thus I want to preface it.

'The Departed' was good (except that whack ending), but it was no 'Goodfellas'.

'Goodfellas' was great, but second tier compared to 'Scarface' and 'The Godfather'.

This movie is on par with both of them, and just came out to day.

It is simply superb...'The Good Shepard'.
