The Departed - Four Stars
 

Phenominal. Go see it.

Cool, I will check it out when it comes on DVD.

I think I'll catch a matinee tomorrow. Looks awesome.

Scorcese + crime movie = gold

Yep. Saw it today. Just as good as the Asian version if not better.

I had no idea of the story or plot line going in, since I hadn't seen the Asian version (now on the to do list). I just knew that there was a new Scorsese movie out with Nicholson, DiCaprio, Damon et al and that it had gotten good reviews. I didn't even know the name of it and had to ask the box office girl if "The Departed was the new Scorsese movie?" She didn't know until she looked on a sheet.

My gut was in a knot for the whole movie. Lots of humor to cut the tension--for about 15 seconds. I won't be able to rank it in the pantheon until I see it at least once more.

It will have to be really damn good to top Internal Affairs and I have heard it does. Look forward to checking it this out.

Trust me, get Infernal Affairs 1 and 2, but skip the third.

Personally if I had to choose I'd still take Goodfellas or even Casino but nonetheless it was a very good movie and well worth the admission price.Nicholson was well,Nicholson,he nailed his role.

I'm pretty sure it won't top Goodfellas in my book, but geez, that was 16 years ago. Not sure I've seen anything better in the last 4 years.

Agreed,I was just saying if I had to choose,thankfully I don't and as soon as The Departed hits DVD it'll be joining the two aforementioned in my collection.

Yup. Amazing how one director can make so many good movies.

Same way I feel about Michael Mann

It's the best I've seen Matt Damon act since The Talented Mr. Ripley.

Heat is the only one of his I have seen. IMDB says he's doing a remake for 2007? Seems bizzarre for him to remake is own movie and only 20 years later.
