Went and saw this one yesterday, boy does it kick ass. All of the performences in it were excellent, highly recommended. I think Scorscese has more f bombs in this one than in casino, and this movie doesnt even have Joe Pesci in it.

Re: The Departed

Dude this is a remake/rip-off of a Hong Kong classic called Infernal Affairs starring Tony Leung and Andy Lau. There're 3 parts to the series.

Re: The Departed

I'm dying to watch this one... or any other flick with Mark Walburg in it :D No seriously, this looks good, I'll have to wait until it comes to dvd though.

Re: The Departed

Huh, I must have watched the wrong film. I thought this was too long, and boring in a lot of places. Couldn't even really tell you what it was about, it was laid out that poorly IMO.

I mean, what the hell was that bird doing going off with Leo half way through it???????

Plus language was WAY over the top, as usual with Scorcese

Re: The Departed

^^yeah there was a ton of swearing, it was crazy. i think she slept with leo since she knew there wasnt something "there" between her and matt damon's char.

Re: The Departed

Went last night, it was long, I'll be honest, but a VERY good movie. Go see it, in the theaters if you have 2.5 hours of free time.

#729936Post 13 of 63

Re: The Departed

yup, saw it last night myself, very good.

#729945Post 14 of 63

Re: The Departed

saw the original in HK back in 2001, was a pretty popular movie there at that time when it was released. Wondering how this one will be, if I get the chance will watch it in theatre and compare it to the orginal

Re: The Departed

Saw it last night, great movie. Starts a little slow but becomes tremendously intense and very suspenseful. A+ cast and performances across the board.

Re: The Departed

i dont care what anyone says, leonardo is a fucking briliant actor, i though it was a great movie, cool duelality much like the movie heat, there were some aweful casting desisions made though....

jack nickelson was good but never really bought his accent matin sheen, no that tight alec baldwin? give me a break and this guy? [IMG]http://www.kidzworld.com/img/upload/article/a2717i0_kanga_anthony_WA.jpg[/IMG] i fucking cant stand that guy

#732741Post 19 of 63

Re: The Departed

i thought alec baldwin was great, he was cracking me up with all of his smartass talk

#732757Post 20 of 63

Re: The Departed

alec baldwin was the best of the minor characters i thought, very good.

antony anderson i disliked until he was in the shield, gained a whole new respect for him as an actor after season 3 of the shield.

Re: The Departed

alec baldwin's bad cop in your face punching guy scene was plain aweful, he fucking sucks all the baldwins suck

Re: The Departed

im sorry if im not impressed by any baldwin acting, their roles and tough guy attitued seem really fake to me, forget what you think about the oscars in gerneal, but has any baldwin won one? my guess is that they havent. his role is completly one dimentional in this move and i think martin scorse did that on purpose. but hey watever if he gets you wet thats fine by me

Re: The Departed

Re: The Departed

^ That as well

Seriously, there is one brilliant/terrible line where some tramp is talking to a killer klown, and he says in a real mock voice 'What you gonna do clowny, knock my block off' and then the clown gives him one punch and his fucking head falls off ha ha ha !
