This is the best movie of the year!! The acting and dialog are by far the best this year. The all-star cast delivers. The movie is 2.5 hours long and it really didn't feel like it. I'm not going to give you any details about the story other than it really isn't a 'make you feel good' type of movie. When I left the theater I felt ticked off. But reflecting on the movie, I just loved it.

Don't wait for this one to go to dvd before you see it. This is one for the big screen.

Anyone else see it?

I plan to catch this next week. As soon as I saw the list of actors in it, I knew it was going to be great! Thanks for the quick review, now I wanna see it even more.

I have to add the fact, that this is a remake of a Hong Kong movie Infernal Affairs. We rented IA a month before the release of this new remake cause me and my wife like this genre of movies.

When watching IA, I was totally blown away!!!! This movie kicked @$$, the ending dropped my jaw to the floor. AWESOME!!!

I haven't seen departed, but I have talked to a couple of my friends who have seen it and they all say they loved it. I was especially glad to hear it stayed true to the original movie with the same impact ending, and even gave credit to the original movie.

I cant wait for this movie to come out on DVD I'd see it in the theatres but I just hate wasting money on a $20 popcorn tub, but I'm glad this movie stayed true to the original.
