I agree as well.

The Departed was pretty good, but Blood Diamond was just more powerful. After The Departed was over, I felt, like it was a pretty good movie, then moved on. After Blood Diamond, my wife was asking all sorts of questions, we were looking up the Kimberly Accord, and so on. That film stayed with me after it was over. Very few other films do that.

Graham King, who accepted the Oscar for Best Picture for The Departed, also produced Blood Diamond. He had a pretty good year.
