[The Departed]Cops or criminals.

When you're facing a loaded gun, what's the difference?

All the bad reasons for watching The Departed:
1) it's by Martin Scorsese!!! That's way enough a reason, don't you think?

2) it's a gangster movie! In other words, lot's of swearing and lot's of blood!

3) it involves one of the best sequence of head-shot combos I have ever seen! Dicaprio's and Damon's respective characters come out of the elevator. Just like that, heads start popping - one after the other!

4) them memorable quotes!

Citation :

Ellerby: How is your wedding coming along?
Colin Sullivan: Great, great; she's a doctor.
Ellerby: That's outstanding.
Colin Sullivan: Yeah.
Ellerby: Marriage is an important part of getting ahead: lets people know you're not a homo; married guy seems more stable; people see the ring, they think at least somebody can stand the son of a bitch; ladies see the ring, they know immediately you must have some cash or your cock must work.
[Laughs]
Colin Sullivan: [Laughing] Yeah, it's working... Overtime!
Ellerby: I'm glad to hear that.
Colin Sullivan: Yeah... Thank you.

Ellerby: I'm gonna go have a smoke right now. You want a smoke? You don't smoke, do ya, right? What are ya, one of those fitness freaks, huh? Go fuck yourself.

Ellerby: Go fuck yourself.
Dignam: I'm tired from fucking your wife.
Ellerby: How is your mother?
Dignam: Good, she's tired from fucking my father.

Dignam: Somebody, as you already know, stole 20 microprocessors from the Mass Processor Company out on Route 128. These are the kind they put into computers that could put a cruise missile up the ass of a camel from a couple hundred miles away

5) Vera Farmiga!!!! mane, I want a shrink like her too! Please!!!
