...How did they perform? They just dont look their role in the trailer, but hopefully they act it.
kittyinthedark, I agree 100%. Half an hour into the film, I was texting my friend that he should have come, that the movie was awesome! An hour after the movie, when I met up with that same friend, he asked again how it was and I said "meh... it was okay". I hated the ending. It was as if, in ending the sentence, they were trying to follow a full stop with an exclamation point, which doesn't really work that well. Four stars thanks only to the cast and performances.kittyinthedark said:The acting was phenomenal, but the movie wasn't great.

Heh, I had the exact same thought too.dshock said:Was a bit dissapointed about what spots he used the Rolling Stone's song Gimme Shelter though. I realize that he has used this song both in Casino and Goodfellas, but in those movies, the song was playing over beautiful montages, of drugs and violence--in the departed , it was played once in the beginning, and then in the middle during matt damon's talk with his g/f in the kitchen, very un inspiring.
