Big Oversight by Scorsese

Rating: 5/10 (24 June 2007)

I watches the movie with interest since it was the return of Scorcese as a director. I disliked the violence and foul language which is not a credit towards the US at all.
And then Scorcese committed an unforgivable oversight which, if he would have noticed it, would have ended the movie much earlier: The characters of Matt Damon and his girl friend, the police psychologist, are moving together in Damon's upper class apartment which he got from bad guy Nicolson. At that time it was known that Nicolson had an informer within the Boston police; namely Damon.
So his love interest, latest when she moved in with Damon, should have wondered of how a simple police officer can afford such a VIP apartment and Damon should have been identified as Nicolson's informer in no time.
However, that did not take place and apparently the otherwise very clever police psychologist took it for granted that a simple police officer can afford such an expensive an upper class apartment.
This oversight in logic makes the whole movie look very poor.
