I know this may be an unpopular opinion, but I feel Nicholson is overacting so much in this film that it feels like someone else doing an exaggerated impression of him.
His dialogue and mannerisms are just too corny to realistically accept this guy runs shite.

I agree. The Departed is flawed. It's great, but slightly flawed. I think they went a little too far in some parts that seemed a bit ridiculous to me and there's overacting across the board save for Martin Sheen.
Children of Men and Pan's Labyrinth are truly perfect films and I can't think of a single thing I would change about either of them. Even Apocalypto I think is a better film than the Departed, and would be perfect if it weren't for the very end.

I don't think Nicholson's overacting hurt The Departed at all, but I definitely agree that he was hammy AF.
To wit, have you guys ever seen this gif?
I've seen The Departed like five times and I just assumed it was from there. It's actually from his comedy with Adam Sandler - Anger Management. Which is obviously a goofy movie, but that's how outrageous Nicholson is in The Departed. I just assumed it was him.

It's not just you, Departed was good but lots of it felt forced well, at least to us...
