Film: The Departed (2006)

DVD: Enhanced 16x9 - Bought in China
The Departed (Widescreen Edition)

"Who let this IRA motherfucker in my bar? Only kidding. How's your mother?"
"Oh... I'm afraid she's on her way out."
"We all are. Act accordingly."

Review: An excellent thriller about the conflict between the police and the Irish Mafia in Boston. Leonardo and Damon are solid as the two cops planted as moles on both sides of the law who are in a race to try and uncover the other's real identity first. Alec Baldwin and Mark Wahlberg are great supporting characters and bring a lot of humor to the film.

"Marriage is an important part of getting ahead: let's people know you're not a homo; married guy seems more stable; people see the ring, they think at least somebody can stand the son of a bitch; ladies see the ring, they know immediately you must have some cash or your cock must work."

"I'm gonna go have a smoke right now. You want a smoke? You don't smoke, do ya, right? What are ya, one of those fitness freaks, huh? Go fuck yourself."

4 1/2 out of 5 Stars
