The Departed

Firstly, dont miss the start of this. I missed the first hour, and if it weren't for Sky's info panel thing, I wouldn't have had a clue who was a gangster and who was a cop. Thats basically the story, Di Caprio and Mattt Daaamon (always to be said in a Team America voice) are infiltrators- Di Caprio is a cop in the gangsters, Damon is a gangster in the cops. Jack Nicholson plays The Joker. A whole load of farcical situations come up (both shagging the same woman for example), but who cares about that?, its still full of Scorcese's gangster action scenes (he could make 300 of these kind of films, and they would all be good), and theres lots of shooting and scowling and people annoyed with other people, and everyone gets shot. end.
Funny, the film takes over 2 1/2 hours, the review takes under 2 1/2 minutes.
