Thoughts on The Departed

No switching lines, because seriously dudes, you all look so similar, and this film is so convulted with mixed identities anyway, we don't want to totally lose the audience here, ok? So just...STAY IN CHARACTER. Damon! Nice method acting, you totally had me believing yo were from Boston! Wahlburg! Can you curse some more?
