'Running Scared'

Breaking and Entering

Fast-Paised review: Running Scared'

'The Departed'
Times Staff WriterFrequently excessive but never dull, "The Departed" is a little too much of a lot of the things that define Martin Scorsese films but it's also almost impossible to resist. Too operatic at times, too in love with violence and macho posturing at others,...Tags: Matt Damon, Alec Baldwin, Crime, Law and Justice, Brad Pitt, Celebrities
