Warner Bros. released the screenplay for The Departed.
I just paged through it. I prefer the "screenplay rat" over the "final-cut rat".
I want to see this movie again. I've read it is even better the second time around. This is surprising because I enjoyed the tension in the first and second acts. I didn't know anything about Internal Affairs, the Hong Kong film on which The Departed was based, so I was on edge at each turn. Most mainstream films are ridiculously predictable. Even though this had the exterior of a typical double-cross-undercover-cop movie, it was clear from the first 10 minutes it was doing its own thing.
Good film. Rat included.
