"The Departed" best since "Goodfellas"- Emanuel Levy

[The Watcher]

agreed, best movie i've seen in years. the acting was on point, everyone had their shit down, jack nicholson & alec baldwin were fuckin hillarious

[Primo]

I agree also. It was dope seeing all the local references too. I live right in between Providence and Boston.

[WC Iz Active]

Man I really need to see this.  Goodfellas is one of my 5 favorite movies ever, if this is even half as good I will be estatic. Cant wait to see it!

[ecrazy]

Fuckin GREAT Movie, Loved every part of it, i think I damaged my bladder though waiting for this movie to end, i did not want to leave at all! Gotta love the rat face jack made, HAHA!

[Primo]

[MANBEARPIG.]

I saw it last night, its STILL filling up theatres.

Im lovin how the whole gangster noir thing is coming first Lucky Number Slevin now this.


*SPOILER ALERT*


Damn when costigon got shot in the elevator, i was like what the fuck!!!! then Matt Damon shooting that other cadet right after he shot Anthony Anderson, damn.  Marky Mark coming back at the end was like    there were a couple of questions i had at the end, like what was in the envelope costigon gave dr. madden? and what did Franks GF tell Matt Damon on the phone after he killed Frank?  Cant wait for the dvd, movie of the year, straight up.

[Digital Pimpin']

honestly, right when mark wahlberg clapped matt damon up, i wasnt worried about all that petty bullshit ur thinking about.  as long as the chain is over, and matt damon got his, it was all good.  great movie tho, didnt feel like 2.5 hrs.

I'm assuming that the envelope contained evidence and instructions to give the evidence to Dignam. Madolyn gave the envelope to Dignam and he set up the kill since with Queenan dead it was personal.

Just watched this. This is a classic   

I cant believe it was 3 hours long, it felt like an hour.

[On The Edge of Insanity]

Just finished watching it, definitely a great film, some of the performances were amazing, especially Di Caprio and Nicholson and I loved right at the end where they had the rat crawling across outside his apartment.

However, this was pretty much just a straight remake of Internal Affairs and therefore despite the fact that it is a great film you do always know what is going to happen if you've watched that already. Plus, Di Caprio's performance, despite being excellent isn't quite on the level of Tony Leung's in the same role. There also wasn't as much interaction between the gang leader and the chief as in the Hong Kong original, which was a bit disappointing as that was one of the highlights of the original.

If you've never seen Internal Affairs though, you will enjoy The Departed more as it will all be new to you and on those terms I can definitely see why people are claiming this to be in their Top 10 films ever.

[Scream @ Me]

This movie is C.L.A.S.S.I.C.

[Maestro Minded]

iv'e been asking everyone who saw this this:


better than internal affairs?

it's NOT better than infernal affairs

even though departed is a hella good movie, people must remember that the entire movie is taken from infernal affairs.. i can't see how this movie is anywhere near  "masterpiece-oscar-material", when infernal affairs didn't get shit (it did get the hong-kong-oscar though).
