In Reply to: "The Departed:" good popcorn flick, absolutely nothing more. nt posted by tinear on October 23, 2006 at 13:16:56:
Yes, i thought that about "The Spirit of the Beehive".
Follow Ups:
a great film, wonderful!
Others may feel they've seen the hysterical top investigator screaming (for no good reason) at his underling--- in this case, for scene after scene--- in every other cop/crook film.
The critically important Alec Baldwin character... who castrated that part?
The Jack character? A cliché of Falstaffian proportions (quite literally).
There were so many pauses in the action to allow each actor his "scene" in which to overact that the plot, bloody, tortured, and dismembered as it was, barely could crawl to the credits.
If you wish to see how this film successfully could have been made, see "Infernal Affairs," the film upon which loosely it was based and which is a masterful example of the crime genre, truly exploring loyalty, bravery, savagery.
"The Departed" may work as a comedy but it so poorly was made that I haven't the heart to see it again. I don't want to injure the little opinion I still retain for Scorscese.
