The Departed

We saw this filmlast night. It is not for anyone of a sensitive disposition......I loved it. I won't say too much about it in case any one is planning to go and see it but firstly a definite bonus for women of a certain age is that Leonardo DiCaprio has grown up and for the first time ever I saw the attraction. Secondly the film cries out for someone to say "You dirty rat" and anyone who does see it will understand why. And the other thing is as Reidski pointed out - they are going to have trouble making a sequel.

Frankly I am surprised you took any of the film in whilst snogging like besotted teenagers on the back row. Actually my son is an ardent movie fan and came home the other night saying how much he had also enjoyed this movie.

I thought rats bathed rather often.

No sequel! The way round that these days of course is to make a prequel.I saw the movie "Infernal Affairs" that this is a remake of, and I'm sure they made an "Infernal Affairs II" a couple of years later.

Still, I'll be going to see Jack and the boys tonight.

YP - you are making me blush ;-) And you should have gone along with your son - it is a great film.

Joe, I believe you are correct. *Note to self to relate my rat stories from the great rat plague of 1999.*

Martin, I can see them doing a prequel but they would have to adopt the same tactic with Jack as tehy do in this film - in a piece at the beginning set 'a few years ago' a younger Jack has his face shaded in dark for every shot! I am sure you will really enjoy the film.
