NFR - The Departed

[Jimpav]

An excellent albeit very violent film. Just starting on C4.

Can't believe this was Scorceses first oscar for best picture.

Love the Mark Walberg and Alec Baldwin scenes in this movie. There was a plan to do a prequal with them but does not seem to have happened.

Good film and suspect I will watch it and enjoy it more than match of the day.

I was so looking forward to watching this film, that i felt a bit dissapointed afterwards.

I'll tape Match of the day MJG but apart from seeing the Gooners get battered it won't make for pleasurable viewing.

Did it not meet your expectations Fred or were you sad that it finished?

I was expecting anouther film like the God Father, it didn't reach them heights. Good film, but i was hoping for better, a bit like the road to Perdition (spelling) in failing to deliver.

Loved this film, didn't expect it to end like that at all.

Has anyone seen the original that it was based on? Not sure of the name of the film but it is set in Hong Kong- supposed to be good.

Infernal Affairs was the film (not the Richard Gere-Andy garcia one Internal Affairs). For once Hollywood kept the basic storyline the same, good film the first one and watched one of the sequals as well.

The original is still better.

Saw the film when it first came out, then went and bought the DVD. Great film, one of Wahlbergs best, imho, as good as 4 brothers and Shooter, at least.

Yeah saw this a few years ago, really good film and great ending. Agree with above, Road to Perdition, while good, wasn't half as good as I expected. Possibly because for me Tom Hanks' voice will forever be Woody in the Toy Story films (the third of which is v poor).
