Re: Only question: Does it rise to the rank of The Godfather? I mean, The Departed?

As usual, excellent comments, dead on. I did not notice the ill timed gunshot at the end. But I was mesmerized all the way through. The editing is really at the service of the story this time with no overt shanannagins involving over long tracking shots, retc. Good points re the Best Actor and Supporting Actor as they are ALL so good. Knowing that a lot of this was filmed elsewhere (I heard New York City) I was surprisaed at how "Boston-y" the locales were. Damon of course has the accent down pat but the others either didn't try it or were passable (always a bugaboo for me in New England films). I too was a bit confused by who was Leo and who was Matt at the begionning but I agree that this is intentional. I can hardly wait until the DVD is released as I want the chance to see it again at leisure and then analyze it until kingdom come. Easily the Best Picture (OK, so far) of the year. Thanks, Clark.
