A few unanswered questions

Rating: 9/10 (17 October 2006)

I may not go as far as to say THE DEPARTED was as good as GoodFellas,but it was damn good, with a strong cast and superb acting. It was rated R for its violence, drugs, and sexual content but quite frankly it seemed to me that the movie was highly edited for time's sake so I think we can likely expect a Director's Cut on DVD with more violence, and OBVIOUSLY a missing wild sex scene involving Jack Nicholson, some blow and 2 women! I would give it a 9, but that being said, I had a few questions regarding who Frank was working for - where the other rat on the police force was all along and how did he know to show up at the elevator scene at the end? And what was in the envelope Costigan gave the shrink - and was it that that ended up in the hands of Dignam who finally got his rat? Regardless, it was worth seeing and I can't wait for the DVD!
