The guy who said the films can't be that similar, go watch the original. It's worth seeing and it is very similar. 'Remake' for legal reasons my ass 😛

I didn't think they were too similar. I mean, they had their differences, which made them both worth watching. But yes, you could definitely tell The Departed was a remake of IA.

Question, is there any meaning behind Costigan drinking cranberry juice? Just wondering...

Having a psychological experience close to the effects of menestration lol?

I need to buy the movie yet and rewatch it a few times.

And yes, other than comedy I can't see any point to cranberry juice.

I'd agree, I personally thought it was funny when he smashed the glass of juice on the guy's face, after the guy asked Costigan if "He was on his period."

Ok movie same plot as alot of movies through so no surprise there!Alot of cursing but an ok movie.I did not mind watching it at all.For the first time I thought Leo was the best and I don't even like that actor!jm

i found nothing especially interesting in this movie. I felt as though i had seen it before and better versions. Aviator and gangs were far better flicks for marty

Finally saw it.

Best Picture??? Does bloody violence and murder equal "good" all of a sudden?

The academy are a bunch of boobs..."well, we gotta give him best picture..."

Even Martin must have been like "what the...did you guys even see my other movies?"

...having said that, it's an ok film...if not for anything...for Jack.

I argee Jack is what made it come alive!There are other movies that should had won best picture.jm

the whole movie was great, i loved every second of it, jack wasn't the best bit of this movie either, it was the whole cast and the story, it made my jaw drop and i loved it, and I'm not a huge Martin fan.

anyone who says that this movie was goog because of nicholson is a ****...maybe.

he was hammy and unengaging for the majority of his scenes.

The academy are a bunch of boobs..."well, we gotta give him best picture..."

Agree with you 100%

I see they are remaking the Infernal Affairs guys other film Confession of Pain. Decent film.

Ugh lets please get rid of Roy Lee.

Such a solidly put together film. fantastic acting skills and a perfectly paced script go a looong way. grim and real. i loved the last shot. poignant.

Ahh.. my old thread got bumped.

Still love this film, it's great!

I let my sister borrow my DVD about four months ago . .. I'm going through withdrawls.

perfect soundtrack too i was just thinking.😊

I prefer the HK version but still good especially mark Warlberg and Goodfellas was Marty's best movie
