This "Departed" copy cat won't "Own The" Oscars
Let me first say that I went into this film with high expectations. Marky Mark, "Commadus", Eva, and Robert are all great actors. Plus, this film looked like serious Oscar bait. But I left the theater hugely disappointed. While the actors in the movie gave great performances, and many scenes left me on the edge of my seat, the writing was terrible. Not only was the film predictable, but also unrealistic. For example, *SPOILERS* in one scene, Joaquin Phoenix is undercover, with a walkie-talkie lighter (he's a druggie), yet it doesn't work as an actual lighter, so he packs matches for himself. Almost immeadiately, the drug dealers notice this and find out he's undercover *SPOILERS END*. Plus, the beginning was slow, and the ending was anti-climactic. So...unless you're really interested in this film (or Eva Mendes), I'd stay away from this film.

Awesome crime/drama/action flick
Alright this movie was very good to start. Violence was not constant but what violence there was was very intense, such as ****SPOILER****, a man getting his face blown apart by close range shotgun fire during a police bust. Some sex in the beginning, and quite a few uses of f*** and s***. I said that it wasn't appropriate for kids my age but I watched it alone so if you can handle it and are mature enough to watch a rated R movie by yourself than,obviously it's appropriate for you.. If not than watch it with your dad or older brother, but not your mom because of the sex and language :) All in all, 9/10
