Just saw it a couple of hours back and am still in the process of digesting the movie. So i may have more insights on this, but i just have to post about this awesome movie as soon as i can. First of all, lovely cast and superlative performances. At times, the tensions within a crime fighting police aquad were palpable. With some hard-hitting language and unabashed violence, this is not a movie for the faint hearted. But for all you motherfucking sonofabitches ( yeah, without the slang), u've just unleashed a goldmine.
Excuse me for the language there,
but thats exactly what u'll get in the movie - unadulterated street talk. makes you sit up and think whats with this 4 letter word and all its connotations. Anywise, the plot is tight and builds up to a nice stage where the viewer can predict every conceivable ending and still miss the real one. stroke of genius i aver, the ending. There are still a few loose ends to be tied up as far as i'm concerned, but i'll probably figure out with time.About the action, i loved the spontaneity!! The sequences showed a lot of imagiation and ingenuity. Another thing that struck me as good is the detail shown in the depiction of the police force.
To criticize, i'd say that i thought for a while, but didn't find anything strong enough to be written. There are a few others but that would steal some fun out of the movie.
Final verdict - if u like thrillers, this is a movie you shouldn't miss. your brain will work overtime with this one, rest assured

its been about 18 hours now and i have some more insights. The way i feel about it, the movie has blended into reality. Its as if i was led through a reality show. Just as real life incidents stay in your short term memory and slowly get accepted, the movie too snuggles into a comfy spot. Henceforth, whenever the brain registers a movie from this genre, memories will be recalled. Only a fast and gripping screenplay can achieve that. Thats one more facet of 'the departed' for you
