ErikW Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 You gotta see this flick! A little slow until near the end. It starts to look like it's gonna be another Donnie Brasco, but then there's so much more, so much better. Something about me wants to hate Leonardo diCaprio but I can't; he's really good. The plot: Massachusetts state police infiltrate Jack Nicholson's crime organization, while at the same time, his rat infiltrates the staties. The ending was a little much (many gasps in the theater) but it made sense and wasn't gratuitious. There was some strange editing, though.

Matt Cheely Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 I saw it a couple of weeks ago. Good film. I agree with EriK on the ending. Not something you'll expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merlin Orr Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I thought it to be pretty tight throughout. The last few minutes were definitely a twist...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

et45 Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I've seen it twice.A cell phone gangster flick. Jack and Dicaprio should get Oscar nods for this.It is supposed to be a remake of Infernal Affairs an Asian gangster film.I have seen bits and pieces of it on Showtime late at night.

Musky Hunter Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 The original was better.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessej Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 (edited) While I agree the original was better, Jack Nicholsons' performance was worth seeing. The original is called "Infernal Affairs", in case some of ya'll was wondering. Edited November 3, 2006 by jessej Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Something about me wants to hate Leonardo diCaprio but I can't; he's really good. +1 - yea, he was great. And like everyone else said - Jack was his best. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer-lock Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 What I like most about Jack is that when he is a bad boy, he is a really bad boy and when he is a good boy, he is a really bad boy. David C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sslav Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 I must be mentally deffective - I hated this movie. Let me qualify that. I loved this movie - great acting, great twists, a lot of suspense ...... until the last 10-15 minutes when they ran out of script and descended into an orgy of absolutely pointless killings. I felt cheated. I was looking forward to a great finalle - a double-tripple-quadrupple cross nobody-is-what-they-seem type of deal. Instead I got 3/4 of a movie. I would actually feel less bitter if the whole thing stunk from beginning to the end then the way it turned out. It was a serious dissapointment.

XRe Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 (edited) I liked the movie - I agree somewhat about the ending. Its certainly not what I wanted out of the end of the movie... though it does follow Scorsese's pattern, and wasn't unexpected... Frankly, the only thing I really didn't dig about the flick was the overly gratuitous use of one of "The Three Magic Words".... (a Joe Rogan reference... ).

Micah Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 (edited) Just watched it tonight with the wife...Matt Burkett wasn't kidding around by saying there were more headshots in the flick than at Nationals! \ Edited February 14, 2007 by Pharaoh Bender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
