Frank Costello is loosely based off Whitey Bulger who was a more fascinating character in real life. Johnny Depp plays him in Black Mass. He was a rat but the FBI was working for him more than anything. His FBI handler is now doing 40 years for doing what Matt Damon was doing.
@@ogbobbyjohnson7776 He was on the lam from 1994-2011. In 2018 he was transferred to a new prison and within a few days was very brutally murdered by a group of inmates at 89 years old.
He was on the run for a very long time and was the 2nd person on the FBI’s most wanted list behind only Bin Laden, they caught him in Cali about 10-12 years ago and he ended up getting killed in jail maybe 5 years ago or so.. group of inmates had a padlock in a sock and a shiv and ended his life rather brutally, he was in a wheelchair at that point so he obviously wasn’t able to do much about it but the guards said he was unrecognizable by the time they were able to break it up.. he did some pretty bad stuff during his time out in southy and karma is a btch.. the bill comes due eventually and he paid 🤷🏼♂️
I was OBSESSED with this movie. Watched it over and over. She was pregnant with Leo's baby and passed it off as Matt's. I think the envelope had Dignums info. That's why he showed up at Matt's apartment. That's why she says I thought I was a liar
She was a liar. Probably. Well,she cheated so she's garbage but the kid could be Colin's. She just likes that she's able to deflect and avoid responsibility,she doesn't even say what she lied about.
"I'm the guy who does his job; you must be the other guy." Dialogues in this movie are just pure gold. It's one of the most re-watchable 2 and 1/2 hour movies ever made. Also, this was the film where Martin Scorsese finally won the Oscar for Best Director. He had been nominated, lost five times before and got it on his sixth nomination. His previous nominations were for "Raging Bull", "The Last Temptation of Christ", "Goodfellas", "Gangs of New York" and "The Aviator". He has been nominated three more times for "Hugo", "The Wolf of Wall Street", "The Irishman" and I am sure he will also be nominated for "Killers of the Flower Moon". All of them are great films.
Aw you edited out my favorite part of the movie, when Mark Wahlberg deals out Justice to Matt Damon's character at the end. To this day cloth booties scare the crap outta me. 😂
You cant show people getting killed on YT, it's against YT new TOS agreement. They had to skip that part so this video doesn't get a strike for showing a murder by headshot.
@@PLF... I don't know what most people you're referring to. However, I read articles and so far 55 people who thumbs up my comment would tend to agree with my statement.
The cast is perfect, the writing is amazing, the direction is incredible. This is just an overall phenomenal film. This film won Martin Scorsese his first, and so far only, Academy Award for Best Director, though it should have been about his fourth Best Director Oscar after Taxi Driver, Raging Bull and Goodfellas. The film also won Best Picture as well. It’s great to see you guys watch this, hope you guys are doing well. Take care!

Scorsese is an editing genius. I love how the beginning of the movie shows contrasts between d'caprio and damon's characters for a few minutes....then it cuts to jail and it finally shows the opening title. that gets ya so pumped lol
The editor of most of Scorsese's films, including this one, is Thelma Schoonmaker. They've been working together since the late '60s and she's won 3 Oscars, all for films she made with Marty.
Saw this opening day in Santa Monica, CA. Sold out show. When it ended, everyone in that theater knew instinctively that this was a Heavy Oscar contender. A perfect movie in so many ways, with arguably the best ensemble acting performance in cinema history. Another one of those rare films where everyone involved with the making of this movie was firing on all cylinders. Great reaction Asia and BJ!
santa mónica is where i believe they found the real guy costello is based on whitey bulger, he had been in hiding for years and he was living in an apartment in santa monica
Did it win any oscars? The acting and soundtrack were both obscenely good but for me the whole film felt disjointed somehow. It skips over enormous chunks of time (like a year) with a 10 second montage. It left me feeling like DiCaprio's character was only undercover for a few weeks tops, whereas in the story it's supposed to be well over a year.
@@Aethelhald, it won several Oscars. Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Film Editing and had numerous Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor nominations.
Right before billy and her slept together. Billy grabbed her family picture and, inspected it, respected it. Then hung it up. Earlier that day, Matt Damons character(forgive me about the names) took a glance at it and made fun of it while going and stowing her whole box away. You could see her become very vulnerable at that moment. Incredible acting and great direction there
From someone who lives and grew up right outside of Boston, this movie embodies the entire city, from the attitudes to the Infamous Boston Accent. (yes, we do all sound like that, Drooping our "r's"). I'm glad you enjoyed this Boston Masterpeice!!!
I'm from 15 minutes north of Boston. Whole family's Irish-American. When this movie came out, it was a huge phenomenon. It was really cool to see people speaking with the accent I grew up with, and thought was normal. I grew up frequenting, and later working at, a pizza joint as a teenager. Everyone who worked there sounded like this, the Irish and the Italians. Since going to university and working out in central/western MA, I lost some of the accent. However, every time I go back home or talk with someone who has it, it naturally comes right back like it never left. Sometimes I feel like I've been acting this whole time and speaking the way people expect me to out here to blend in. It's always been there, though.
ngl it took me a while to really "believe" Matt Damon with a Boston accent because it sounded so over acted. But it grew on me. I'm from NH, with a Fitchburg Grandmother. So I'm used to hearing it, and apparently it comes out when I'm mad or drunk.
Born and raised in New England, lived in Boston from 2000 to 2010, this movie came out in 2006 and was just such a perfect representation of the Boston I know. Wish you didn't skip that last scene with Matt Damon going "Oh." Was just perfect.
I can't believe you edited the shooting at the end out!!! 🙈🙈🙈 we didn't get to see your reaction when he got killed. Great film, loads of top-tier actors, and a great reaction .
Yeah I wish they left that one in. Ya know there’s some that think Dingham was a rat too. It realizing he was just being a vigilante since Sullivan got away with and any evidence that probably could’ve helped out him away was gone and whatever Costigan had probably wouldn’t have been enough.
Almost immediately, y'all reacted viscerally to one of the big aspects of this movie that the other actors talk about: That scene where Nicholson talks about how the woman "fell funny" after an execution, was actually born out of an understanding that Scorsese had with Jack. He'd actually thought about and added that in, and Scorsese liked it. The actors, DiCaprio, Damon, everyone that worked closely with him, said he was more like a writer who could act, because he'd take a simpler scene and build on it in a way that matched his character and complemented the script without actually messing with it.
Leonardo DiCaprio and Mark Wahlberg work so well together! I wish they would have done more movies together. "Basketball Diaries" and "The Departed" are not enough!
The Departed and Unforgiven are probably my favorite two movies of all time (there are a couple of Korean movies in the running but I will keep it to American flicks). I had the exact the same reaction when everybody was getting shot in the head towards the end. Great movie and great reaction!!!
One of my favourite movies! It was this movie & Blood Diamond (both released in 2006) that made me realise what an amazing actor Leonardo DiCaprio is, as his performance in both movies is outstanding in completely different roles. So I would suggest that you watch "Blood Diamond" next.
i highly recommend his earliest movies like the very dark/grim "Basketball Diaries" to see a real young. highschool aged Leo. Even earlier then that, he plays an impeccable role alongside Johnny Depp in "What's Eating Gilbert Grape". Leo looks about 14-15 and plays a severely mentally challenged child with a personality of like an 8 year old.. it's really impressive.. (I'm not positive if it's Down Syndrome only bc he doesn't have any form of the usual physical traits associated with DS.. but he kills the role despite how highly difficult type of acting needed for any age, esp a teen). Leo was born to be an Actor.
The pop bottle is not a silencer. It helps prevent blast residue from getting everywhere, especially on the shooter's skin and clothes. Don't ask how I know.
Might be my favorite movie of all time. So glad you guys liked it. Came out right around Children of Men and Pan's Labyrinth, all amazing movies. Miss those days.
It's hard to catch it on the first viewing, but in a number of the scenes in which a character is about to die, the letter "X" appears somewhere in the background. When Captain Queenan (Martin Sheen) is plunging to his death from the building, there are X's on the windows of the building as he's falling. When Matt Damon's character finally kills Costello (Jack Nicholson), there's a big X on some building structure behind him (Matt Damon). At the end, when Matt Damon comes out of the elevator with grocery bags in his arms, there's a big X taped to the floor of the hallway.
YES!!! Its not unheard of for high ranking crime bosses to also be CI's for the feds or to collude with them. In fact, any criminal willing to give a steady supply of info on other criminals can do it and gain a certain amount of leniency or passivity from the law enforcement. A personal example is, I knew a guy that was with two friends and they were pulled over in traffic stop. The driver should have faced a dui charge and another a gun posession. But the third guy got out and went back to the police cruiser to have a conversation with the officers and they were let go. They had no idea what happened but a year later the guy died for health reasons and it came out that he was an informant. Not snitching on his friends, but snitching all the same
Great reaction! You guys were really into it. I love this movie, I'm so glad you did it. Vera Farmiga is the actress you recognized from The Conjuring. She's in another movie that came out the same year as "The Departed" called "Running Scared" with Paul Walker. It's another good one that you guys should check out. I look forward to whatever is next!
So a fun Easter egg, every time, right before a main character gets killed off, they pass next to an X. The most obvious times were a next in the elevator with Leo, and Damon walks down a hallway of Xs.
8:34 Asia she looks from familiar she's from conjuring universe it's Lorraine her real name is Vera Farmiga her sister plays in the Nun 1&2 as sister Irene real name Taissa Farmiga
Not sure if you caught this but the baby is insinuated to be Costigan's kid and not Matt Damon's character. Earlier she makes a comment about Matt Damon having trouble in bed, she then later sleeps with Leo's character and after she finds out about the tapes she says "I thought I was the liar" likely referring to the baby.
Martin Scorsese is alongside Clint Eastwood my favourite movie director of all time. 💯 I really fear for the future of Hollywood´s continued quality, when these American treasures aren´t alive anymore.😑
They’re already starting to decline in quality. I think they are using a popcorn method in trying to mass produce these shows and movies and still think that people always want to see big , poorly written movies. But I do feel like movies like Pearl and X are examples of standout movies with great performances. Hollywood is fighting the audience and still thinks that they can fully direct our attention to where they want it.
Scorsese has been making masterpieces for 5 decades and he's still doing it today. Another movie director you can think of that accomplished something like that?
@@TheCrazyCanuck420 The original is called "Internal Affairs". Don't be put off if you have to read subtitles. It is a genuinely remarkable film. Hence Martin Scorsese's love for a American... interpretation?
In all honesty I prefer the original , I found it to be superior to the Hollywood remake, perhaps, because having seen the original years earlier and therefore knowing the story , I found the remake lacking in the tension featured in the original. Not dissing the Hollywood version would just encourage other to seek out "Infernal Affairs" . p.s. there are also some sequels to the Hong Kong original which are worth viewing.
Been wanting you to see this since you started movie reactions. My favorite Martin Scorsese film. The Frank mob boss is based on real life Boston mobster, Whitey Bulger, who was a FBI informant and protected by dirty Feds, State, and locals cops for 19 years, while he murdered, stole, gambled and did all kinds of criminal behavior. He finally got ratted out and was charged with 19 murders. Happy New Year!
This is such a great movie!!! Ur reaction on the elevator scene & then the ending thinking WTF he’s gonna get away wit it but not quite. Major twists & turns
There ya go guys. Killer film. Love Alec Baldwin, Leo, Jack, and Matt Damon. Great cast and superb performance in this one. Lots of twists and turns with this one. One just has to really enjoy both your 100% authentic reactions. Thanks guys. Keep em coming. See ya on the next. Shoutout from the mountains of East Tennessee. Happy Holidays. Peace. Later.
Quite often, movies can be overshadowed by the cast and fall short of the mark. The Departed is most definitely not one of those. Fantastic cast, fantastic director, and the finished product is one of my all-time favorites 👏👏
It was the best of moles. It was the worst of moles. No rats. All moles. True traitors. Anthony Anderson plays the MOST IMPORTANT person in this flick. Not the biggest role, but the most important role in the entire movie.
The woman who played the therapist and was in the Conjuring was also in a move with George Clooney called "Up In The Air" which is a pretty good film. Had never seen this one before. Thanks for sharing.
If you guys want to hear something wild, the actor who plays Fitzy (the guy with the super deep voice and an Irish accent) played the crazy guy Stephen in Braveheart.
Costello is very loosely based on Whitey Bulger. Bulger was a Boston Irish Mafia boss and he worked insanely closely with FBI agent John Connolly. Connolly grew up in the same Irish Projects that Bulger operated in. Bulger gave Connolly information on the Italian Mafia, essentially using the FBI to take out his competition. Connolly rose quickly up the ranks of the FBI because of the information given to him by Bulger. This mutually beneficial relationship also included protection from local law enforcement provided by Connolly. In the early 90s someone made a big enough stink about it all and the FBI came for Bulger. He managed to evade arrest until the early 2010s.
@tileux are you incapable of realizing something can have multiple sources of inspiration? Damn, people who do that drive me nuts. Yes, its based off the hong kong film Internal Affairs, but they changed up the script and characters and based Costello and his situation off of Whitey Bulger and his criminal empire. It's a mix, not just one source or the other.
2 litre soda bottles work surprisingly well as silencers for a few shots. To the point that having an adapter that threads onto a soda bottle and a firearm is treated as a suppressor by the ATF and requires a tax stamp to be legal.
The neat thing about this film is that it was based off a Hong Kong film named internal affairs which starred Tony Leung and Andy Lau! This film more or less shares some of the same beats that internal affairs does such as with characters and plot! If you guys decide to watch a foreign film in the future this would be a good one to watch!
I was in a film club in high school and 2006 was the first year of the club. When the Oscars came around the next semester we did a big betting pool on what was going to win Best Picture. I was the only one to pick the Departed while everyone else picked either the Queen or Babel, and I absolutely relished my win.
Glad you did this one, because the movie is incredible. I think the movie is trying to tell us the baby is Costigan's. Remember, Sullivan was having problems performing in the bedroom. That wrong address wasn't just the number..they were in Wash street but he told Billy to meet them on Washington street. That scene where Jack tells dude to not laugh, I'm pretty sure that was a character break by the actor, but Jack stayed in character and the scene came out great so they used it. One more thing, that woman from the Conjuring is also in a great movie with George Clooney and Anna Kendrick called Up In The Air. You should definitely check that out.
Once again one of my favorite couples reacting to by far one of the greatest endings of all time they certainly don't make like this anymore specially in the late 2000s where everything started going downhill for the Entertainment industry for rare gem 💎 gangster masterpieces like these with all-star heavy hitters like Sopranos did before it ended that year learned from the best with all these actors from old to youngest all putting one of Marten Scorcees last rare gem all-star cast from rookies to highest position you can go in cop world and gangster directed and written by one of the greatest of all time
I can't help but notice you guys really enjoy films by great directors that are nominated for, or winners of Oscar awards. With that in mind, the best movies I've seen in the last few years that you should watch are "JoJo Rabbit" and "Parasite". The latter is a perfect film in my eyes. Thanks as always for the review ❤❤
Ahhh another great reaction from you two! I’m from Boston, Mattapan to be exact! That line with Leonardo and Anthony in the beginning always tickles me since I’m Black and experienced some crazy racism growing up in the 90s and 2000s especially. That’s what the slight was about, “Already f*cked” lol. But I do love my city otherwise and still here. Happy New Years to you guys ❤❤

Omg Asia spoke it out!! 37:16 "It's sideways calm on the elevator..." Wow.
I will never get over how good Scorsese films are.
The therapist is Vera Farmiga and if I haven’t seen Up in the Air with George Clooney I highly recommend it
Did not expect this reaction today. This is my all time favorite movie! Let's goooo!
37:45 yup ! Perfect reaction
This is in my top 10 no matter what my mood or what I've been watching.
It's hard to catch it on the first viewing, but in a number of the scenes in which a character is about to die, the letter "X" appears somewhere in the background. When Captain Queenan (Martin Sheen) is plunging to his death from the building, there are X's on the windows of the building as he's falling. When Matt Damon's character finally kills Costello (Jack Nicholson), there's a big X on some building structure behind him (Matt Damon). At the end, when Matt Damon comes out of the elevator with grocery bags in his arms, there's a big X taped to the floor of the hallway.
“The Town”
Renner is masterful
YES!!! Its not unheard of for high ranking crime bosses to also be CI's for the feds or to collude with them. In fact, any criminal willing to give a steady supply of info on other criminals can do it and gain a certain amount of leniency or passivity from the law enforcement.
A personal example is, I knew a guy that was with two friends and they were pulled over in traffic stop. The driver should have faced a dui charge and another a gun posession. But the third guy got out and went back to the police cruiser to have a conversation with the officers and they were let go. They had no idea what happened but a year later the guy died for health reasons and it came out that he was an informant. Not snitching on his friends, but snitching all the same
There are so many plot twists in this one! I'm really glad you made it to this one. Oh, that was fun!
Great reaction! You guys were really into it. I love this movie, I'm so glad you did it. Vera Farmiga is the actress you recognized from The Conjuring. She's in another movie that came out the same year as "The Departed" called "Running Scared" with Paul Walker. It's another good one that you guys should check out. I look forward to whatever is next!
I love Running Scared!
Everyone should give you a 👍 for doing this movie❤ CHEERS and Happy New Year 🎉!
So a fun Easter egg, every time, right before a main character gets killed off, they pass next to an X. The most obvious times were a next in the elevator with Leo, and Damon walks down a hallway of Xs.
Nice. It's a reference to the original Scarface.
American Gangster (2007) with Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe should definitely be on your list of movies to watch if it isn't already. ✌🏽🎄❤
The ending to this was non-stop, like BAM BAM BAM🔥🔥🔥
There will never be another Jack Nicholson. He is the best! I absolutely love this movie.
"DONT LAUGH!!!! THIS AINT REALITY TV!!!!"
@@TheGillenium huh?? It isn’t 🤔
@@Sugarhicups_11 it’s a line in the movie lol
@@TheGillenium haha. Missed that line.
@@Sugarhicups_11 it’s one of the best, he pissed they didn’t dump the body in the marsh and his cronies laugh at him.
"inside man" great bank robber movie. DiCaprio underrated movie is "body of lies"
This is my favorite Scorsese movie. I recall watching it on the come down of a few all night acid trips.
8:34 Asia she looks from familiar she's from conjuring universe it's Lorraine her real name is Vera Farmiga her sister plays in the Nun 1&2 as sister Irene real name Taissa Farmiga
Not sure if you caught this but the baby is insinuated to be Costigan's kid and not Matt Damon's character. Earlier she makes a comment about Matt Damon having trouble in bed, she then later sleeps with Leo's character and after she finds out about the tapes she says "I thought I was the liar" likely referring to the baby.
Gone Baby Gone, Mystic River, Killer Joe are all awesome movies you should check out.
Mystic River is so good but a f'd up movie.
Martin Scorsese is alongside Clint Eastwood my favourite movie director of all time. 💯
I really fear for the future of Hollywood´s continued quality, when these American treasures aren´t alive anymore.😑
They’re already starting to decline in quality. I think they are using a popcorn method in trying to mass produce these shows and movies and still think that people always want to see big , poorly written movies. But I do feel like movies like Pearl and X are examples of standout movies with great performances. Hollywood is fighting the audience and still thinks that they can fully direct our attention to where they want it.
I never thought Martin Scorsese would ever make another crime movie as good as Goodfellas... then The Departed came out!
You need to watch Infernal Affairs
Casino, The Irishman, and Wolf of Wall Street are all fantastic as well
And after that, he made an even better movie than Goodfellas.
Another great choice. What a Cast! What a Movie!👌👏
Scorsese has been making masterpieces for 5 decades and he's still doing it today. Another movie director you can think of that accomplished something like that?
Loved seeing you both fall in love with this film. Man that ending too :)
I will say that in "the scene", everybody in the theater was silent for the first two but laughed at the third shot.
Man... they they hit it outta the park with jack Nicholson's wittiness😂😂😂
One of the all time great movies. Thanks for the reaction, and happy New Year!
Such a good remake it's actually on par with the original. Not very often you can say that. ❤
Does the original have a different title? I went searching for it and could find it.
@@TheCrazyCanuck420 The original is called "Internal Affairs". Don't be put off if you have to read subtitles. It is a genuinely remarkable film. Hence Martin Scorsese's love for a American... interpretation?
The original is Infernal Affairs. Not "Internal" @@muninraven3327 The Departed, as a remake, is pretty good, but the original version is a banger.
In all honesty I prefer the original , I found it to be superior to the Hollywood remake, perhaps, because having seen the original years earlier and therefore knowing the story , I found the remake lacking in the tension featured in the original. Not dissing the Hollywood version would just encourage other to seek out "Infernal Affairs" .
p.s. there are also some sequels to the Hong Kong original which are worth viewing.
Been wanting you to see this since you started movie reactions. My favorite Martin Scorsese film. The Frank mob boss is based on real life Boston mobster, Whitey Bulger, who was a FBI informant and protected by dirty Feds, State, and locals cops for 19 years, while he murdered, stole, gambled and did all kinds of criminal behavior. He finally got ratted out and was charged with 19 murders. Happy New Year!
This is such a great movie!!! Ur reaction on the elevator scene & then the ending thinking WTF he’s gonna get away wit it but not quite. Major twists & turns
There ya go guys. Killer film. Love Alec Baldwin, Leo, Jack, and Matt Damon. Great cast and superb performance in this one. Lots of twists and turns with this one. One just has to really enjoy both your 100% authentic reactions. Thanks guys. Keep em coming. See ya on the next. Shoutout from the mountains of East Tennessee. Happy Holidays. Peace. Later.
The best Irish Mob movie ever made!
Quite often, movies can be overshadowed by the cast and fall short of the mark. The Departed is most definitely not one of those. Fantastic cast, fantastic director, and the finished product is one of my all-time favorites 👏👏
Another classic! Y’all are killin it
It was the best of moles. It was the worst of moles. No rats. All moles. True traitors. Anthony Anderson plays the MOST IMPORTANT person in this flick. Not the biggest role, but the most important role in the entire movie.
The Actress that plays the therapist is Vera Farmiga. She also played Loraine on The Conjuring.
BODY OF LIES - probably the best movie with dicaprio on it... just amazing...
The woman who played the therapist and was in the Conjuring was also in a move with George Clooney called "Up In The Air" which is a pretty good film. Had never seen this one before. Thanks for sharing.
WOW I totally forgot about up in the air.. haven't seen it since it came out. Such a good movie
Yeah,she was Oscar nominated for that one.
In terms of pure suspense, I would rate this movie in my top 10.
Such a great movie!!! The end scene was so satisfying I jumped out of my chair and yelled YES!!!!
your reaction to the end was literally everybody watching the movie.
If you guys want to hear something wild, the actor who plays Fitzy (the guy with the super deep voice and an Irish accent) played the crazy guy Stephen in Braveheart.
I thought he looked familiar
One of my favorites. Didn't realize you guys had never done it and so glad you have now... Asia during that elevator scene though!!! 🤣🤣
If you liked this movie and you liked Thief, then I would definitely recommend The Way Of The Gun as well as Blood Diamond.
Phenomenal movie. Always also seeing people's reaction to Leo lol. Shocking everytime. Great reaction y'all.
Costello is very loosely based on Whitey Bulger. Bulger was a Boston Irish Mafia boss and he worked insanely closely with FBI agent John Connolly. Connolly grew up in the same Irish Projects that Bulger operated in. Bulger gave Connolly information on the Italian Mafia, essentially using the FBI to take out his competition. Connolly rose quickly up the ranks of the FBI because of the information given to him by Bulger. This mutually beneficial relationship also included protection from local law enforcement provided by Connolly. In the early 90s someone made a big enough stink about it all and the FBI came for Bulger. He managed to evade arrest until the early 2010s.
@tileux are you incapable of realizing something can have multiple sources of inspiration? Damn, people who do that drive me nuts.
Yes, its based off the hong kong film Internal Affairs, but they changed up the script and characters and based Costello and his situation off of Whitey Bulger and his criminal empire. It's a mix, not just one source or the other.
@@KrazzeeKaneresearch the producer and director comments.
Apply what you want, facts are facts
It did work as a silencer. you can use a couple soda cans fused together as a silencer too
Vera Farmiga is a great actress, she's in The Conjuring, Running Scared, Godzilla, & Hawkeye. This movie is legendary
Costello's character is based on Whitey Bulger, who was a long-time crime boss in Massachusetts, and ended up being an FBI informant as well.
Your reaction and shock to the elevator scene was delightful.
2 litre soda bottles work surprisingly well as silencers for a few shots. To the point that having an adapter that threads onto a soda bottle and a firearm is treated as a suppressor by the ATF and requires a tax stamp to be legal.
"what was in the envelope?"... I'm so glad Marty told us without telling us.
Matt Damon is from Boston also. Great movie 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Great job keeping up. I loved it immediately, but I had to watch this movie like 3 times before I noticed every connection.
this movie is freaking incredible, THANK YOU
The neat thing about this film is that it was based off a Hong Kong film named internal affairs which starred Tony Leung and Andy Lau! This film more or less shares some of the same beats that internal affairs does such as with characters and plot! If you guys decide to watch a foreign film in the future this would be a good one to watch!
This is a GREAT FILM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the most epic movies and one of my fav of all time!!!! LETS GOOOO!!!!!!!!!😎🤘
She is also from" Up In the Air" with George Clooney.
Ya'll should check out Carlito's Way if you haven't already
I was in a film club in high school and 2006 was the first year of the club. When the Oscars came around the next semester we did a big betting pool on what was going to win Best Picture. I was the only one to pick the Departed while everyone else picked either the Queen or Babel, and I absolutely relished my win.
Glad you did this one, because the movie is incredible.
I think the movie is trying to tell us the baby is Costigan's. Remember, Sullivan was having problems performing in the bedroom.
That wrong address wasn't just the number..they were in Wash street but he told Billy to meet them on Washington street.
That scene where Jack tells dude to not laugh, I'm pretty sure that was a character break by the actor, but Jack stayed in character and the scene came out great so they used it.
One more thing, that woman from the Conjuring is also in a great movie with George Clooney and Anna Kendrick called Up In The Air. You should definitely check that out.
If I remember rightly, that line "She fell funny" and the laugh was an adlib by Nicholson!
Once again one of my favorite couples reacting to by far one of the greatest endings of all time they certainly don't make like this anymore specially in the late 2000s where everything started going downhill for the Entertainment industry for rare gem 💎 gangster masterpieces like these with all-star heavy hitters like Sopranos did before it ended that year learned from the best with all these actors from old to youngest all putting one of Marten Scorcees last rare gem all-star cast from rookies to highest position you can go in cop world and gangster directed and written by one of the greatest of all time
KING OF NEW YORK PLEASE.... CLASSIC
Oooh oooh oooh the Departed. Great cast and killer soundtrack. Can’t wait to see your reaction at the end.
I can't help but notice you guys really enjoy films by great directors that are nominated for, or winners of Oscar awards. With that in mind, the best movies I've seen in the last few years that you should watch are "JoJo Rabbit" and "Parasite". The latter is a perfect film in my eyes. Thanks as always for the review ❤❤
Ayyy thanks for doing this movie Asia and BJ . One of my favorites.
P.S.-Nice Raiders Gear y’all. Happy new year to yall and your family ❤
Finally the best movie reactors on you tube have reacted to this monster of a film.
Ahhh another great reaction from you two! I’m from Boston, Mattapan to be exact! That line with Leonardo and Anthony in the beginning always tickles me since I’m Black and experienced some crazy racism growing up in the 90s and 2000s especially. That’s what the slight was about, “Already f*cked” lol. But I do love my city otherwise and still here. Happy New Years to you guys ❤❤
Wow, Asia is slimming down! Good for her. She looks much better.
Literally my favorite movie. Been waiting for this one. The CD she was listening to with the surveillance was whats in the package.
