Re: finally got to The Departed

funny, when he did the rat impression 'my' audience laughed! I do not mean to undermine your review but it is interesting...

I greatly enjoyed this movie and liked Mark Whalberg, I think he bettered Martin Sheen, or maybe just had a better role, but in a lot of the same scenes together he really stood out. Leo was great as well and I agree - a convincing tough guy. Matt Damon, who I really like in the Bourne films seems to be reprising his roles from them - something about his voice, the tone and pace seemed excactly the same to me. Nicholson is terrific and well cast, his giant ego seems to fit a snake like the villian he plays here.

Overall I liked the fast pace and big complicated story we get here. It was written very intelligently with easy to understand dialogue and circimstances. The story ends up being quite scary because you know this kind of corruption is really going on and I would wet myself being in any of their shoes. :^)

I highly recommend this movie and think it is in the same league as Goodfellas with a more enjoyable story for my tastes.
