Title: The Departed
Post by: Sam on October 07, 2006, 22:18:30 PM
Great film, terrible ending (IMHO).

7/10. Would give it a 9/10 if it wasnt for the ending. But thats just me, you might like the ending.

Still great cast, damon and caprio great. Walburg fantastic. Hes brilliant in this, and was brilliant in 4 brothers. A definite favourite of mine now.

Still Scorcese will get his ass kicked at the oscars again by Sir Clint and FOOF.

Saw it last night, great film, I liked the ending......  It made a lot of people laugh though, good or bad thing?

Just wish Scorcese wouldnt use "Gimme Shelter" in so many of his films, he used it twice in this.  Love the Rolling Stones, great song, but why use it so often, plenty of other songs to use!

Was the shop that is shown a few times the same one that was shown in the four brothers?

Yes it is the one that I meant, it looks the same are you sure it isnt?
Is there a way of finding out?

Things like shops do tend to be used repeatedly in films as it cuts down the costs, have seen similar appearances in other films so I certainly wouldnt put it past them. Unfortunately I havent seen this one.

NO WAY, I was thinking exactly the same thing, looks very similar!

Saw it tonight, loved the film.

Im unsure on the ending, its not what I wanted.  But as it unfolded in the last what, 15-20 mins it wasnt what I expected either.
