Anyone else up for this movie? On "Ebert and Roeper" Richard Roeper called it the "best movie of the year", guest critic Kevin Smith (Clerks II) gave it a "massive THUMBS UP"and Rolling Stone gives it 3.5 STARS (out of 4). It stars Jack Nicholson as an Irish mob kingpin, Leonardo DiCaprio as a cop pretending to be a hood, and Matt Damon as a dirty cop working for Jack. "Rolling Stone" calls Nicholson's performance "electrifying". And did I mention that Martin Scorsese directs the film?

If it was Martin Scorsese alone, it would be worth it.
Add Nicholson, DiCaprio, Damon, and Walberg?
I'll be seeing this for sure.l -

I don't understand Scorsese's hard on for DiCaprio, but this movie looks really good.Comment

Re: "The Departed"
When I first saw the commercial for it, I knew this was my type of movie.
I'm really looking forward to it. I just hope that I don't overhype it in my mind too much and then am let down once I see it.Comment

The Departed is another movie/story coming from Asian cinema. The original is called "Infernal Affairs," and is very good. It's actually a trilogy, with the second part being a prequel and the third part the finale. You can probably find "Infernal Affairs" at Netflix or maybe Blockbuster.com.

Re: "The Departed"
I thought the very early buzz on this was that it was going to be terrible. Now that I see that it has 100% on Rottentomatoes so far, I think I may have mixed it up with another supposed surefire winner, All the Kings Men.
Yeah, I'm going to see this.Comment

Re: "The Departed"
I definately want to see this one...I just hope it's still in theaters around Thanksgiving (when my wife and I head to the in-laws and can dump our son off
).

Re: "The Departed"
The Departed is a must see. So far Inside Man is the best movie I've seen in 06, but I feel like it's about to change. I'll glady hand over $11 to see it.
A movie with a big name director and A list actors.
I have yet to read a negative review from somebody that has already seen the film.
Even if this movie is only 80% as good as Casino or Goodfellas, I will label it as a Classic.Comment
