The Departed
The Departed has received mixed reviews, and it's taken me and Tuffy P a while to get around to watching it. We saw it tonight on DVD, downstairs on our ancient 13" set we call The Media Centre.
I loved just about everything about this film. The acting was superb; the script was excellent. The cinematography was perfect. I confess that I have a soft spot for Scorcese's films....I like to think it's because they're damned good. This one is all about identity, loyalty and power. Load up the dump-truck with salties friends, this one gets a top rating.

I wasn't too excited about seeing this and did so reluctantly. Glad I did, I really enjoyed it! And the acting was much better than I had expected.
I'm watching this one this week while working out on my elliptical. I'm liking it a lot. Great action, and the plot moves along at a break neck pace. I didn't work out today, maybe I'll finish it tomorrow. Watching movies to work out is a good incentive for me. :D
We enjoyed it too! The plot and acting were superb.
We rented Blood Diamond at the same time and were impressed with it as well.
I don't tend to watch remakes of films, especially when I've seen the original, so I'll probably give this a miss...
I agree. I liked this one very much. I just saw Borat, and I can't say that I liked it very much.
I haven't seen Borat, and don't plan to.
There are many things I liked about The Departed. Especially the ending. It ended at the right time in the right way. I don't want to give anything away ... all I can say is that the pacing works very well throughout the film and the ending follows suit.
