I saw this when I was 18. Martin Scorsese has made some fantastic films but for my money this is his masterpiece. Obviously I’m biased because I saw it at an impressionable age but boy what a flick.
Scorsese has more movies, apart from 'The Departed,' deserving that masterpiece title, ie.; Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, The King of Comedy, Raging Bull, to name but a few. But, I agree with you The Departed is a masterpiece made by a movie maker at the peak of his powers. Period.
I agree, it's a great film and in my opinion, one of the best films of the 2000's, but Good Fellas is hands down his best work to date. Honestly, nothing beats Goodfellas. It's an ageless classic and the fact that it didn't win the Best Picture Oscar that year is almost like a crime!! Rest in Eternal Peace Ray Liotta... Thank you for helping make Goodfellas into the classic it is.
@@dangchanneldeg6948 do you know how to read? I'm completely serious. Literally right after I said "Rest in Eternal Peace Ray Liotta" I CLEARLY followed that statement up with, "Thank you for making *Goodfellas* into the classic it is". C'mon man... How did you miss that?? 🤣

Not sad. Absolutely terrified by the fact that Queenan was the only person who could identify Costigan as an informant, protecting him from prosecution as part of Costello's gang. Maybe Dignam could/would protect him, but he's a prick and the two of them can't stand each other. Costigan was just praying that by some miracle Queenan might be alive even though he was thrown from the building. He believes at this point that within the next few days he will end up arrested, wanted by the FBI, or dead. He catches a break when Costello's entire gang is killed in the shootout, giving the opportunity to bring himself in, but ultimately the fact that he was never able to identify Costello's mole came back to get him killed.
Yeah Sullivan was such a bent POS cop, Matt did a hell of a job! I think the only other film where I can think of his where he was villain was The Talented Mr Ripley playing the sociopathic and narcissistic title character (his best performance IMO). Maybe Interstellar counts but I don’t think he was a straight up villain like in this or The Talented Mr Ripley.
This scene is real loose. I mean they don’t see Leo consoling Queenan from the roof looking down? I dunno the more I see this movie the worse I think it is. It’s a great movie don’t get me wrong but I dunno it’s a little sloppy at parts.
@@clath2823Agreed. It’s pretty hilarious how when Dignam sarcastically says: “I forgot the password but if you come down to the garage I’ll be happy to give it to you,” Sullivan takes him seriously and calls him a liar, to which Dignam replies: “No one calls me a liar!” It’s downright ridiculous dialogue lol
This movie is sloppy as shit. Miles Kennefick...we're not here to solve the case of the missing asshole we're here to nail Costello. ...what? Miles isn't missing. He's all fucked up and 6 feet deep but he ain't missing
I love how Matt Damon's "Boston accent" comes and goes in this film. One minute he's talking with it like, "Stay in the CAAAH" and yet the next minute he's talking in his normal voice lol
Did the police guys dispatching Sullivan ever see Costigan standing by Queenan's dead body? If they saw Queenan fall from the rooftop how did they not see Costigan?
Costigan was in the building before the police following Queenin got there. When Costigan comes out, he's just another random who leaves with the others.
bcause them only saw his back and at first got serious doubts so if is just a random guy passing there or just one or the one involves with that terrible situation about Queenan´s dead....besides them should be waiting orders by Sullivan & also them doesnt knows who is in fact Costigan (that was classified and only Dignam and Queenan knows who was the real infiltrated officer)....
@@nicedoppy2077 after some rewinds I see what happened the police guys in the car parked in a spot that saw queenan fall however the van of costello's crew pulled up, so it was in sight that the police guys never saw Costigan coming from another part of the building

One of the best cop movies of all time. Shows what they're really like, as opposed to the facade they put on. The Badged-Brethren R.I.C.O is NOT your friend.
I know it's been pointed out but the usage of X in various scenes before characters die ... subtle yet now I can't unsee it .. BUT that doesn't keep me from watching this again and again... oh fine I'll watch it now...
Working with criminals seems a lot more honest. At least you know you can’t trust them. Whereas working as a cop you never know if they are gonna screw ya over or not.
This movie was beat-for-beat a plagiarized version of "Infernal Affairs" that came out in Japan in 2002. The difference being the latter was actually good and the former was like all the other Scorcese films: Bully glorification.

i always wondered why queenan didnt have his gun out
@mg19cal It wasn't a dummy; they filmed Sheen lying down and then spliced it together with the van driving away 🎞️ Believe it or not, a dummy would still move if you drove over the top of it 😄
To preserve himself, yes. But true to his character of honor, he engaged directly to protect the quickly-diminishing opportunity Costigan had to escape.
This was based on a 3 part Japanese trilogy called Infernal Affairs. Remember going to the cinema to see the 2nd movie told 3 times from buying the ticket to having it checked to entering the screening “you know this movie has sub titles” oh happy days.
@@codykp. "check out" my comment again... I said MOST of the film was filmed in New York, not all of it. Of course there are some real shots of Boston in this film lol. They did film a bit there but New York is where most of the film was shot because of tax incentives at the time.
I thought DiCaprio was very good in this film and it was a great movie BUT I think Matt Dillon would have been much more convincing as an Irish toughguy. That guy was NEVER given a real opportunity to show his acting abilities. Damn shame.
Great movie, but the writing for this scene was soooo lazy. Undercover cop's supervisor goes to some old empty office building in the middle of the city and he goes to the 6th floor roof in the middle of the day to talk with his mole, with no exit plan? 100% deserved to be thrown off that building, along with the writers.
He deliberately sacrificed himself to distract the bad guys Billy could escape. That WAS the exit plan. Either they both got caught and died, or the boss probably would. Best case scenario, they take him alive, which gives the other cops a chance to save him, and maintains Billy's cover. Did you miss when he crossed himself? This could've happened anywhere. Anywhere it wasn't practical for both of them to escape, which could happen even with an "exit plan". No plan survives contact with the enemy. I feel like a lot of people just want to dunk on the writers instead of engaging with the movie.
@EGRJ Durr. You missed my whole point. No one would have been sacrificed, and they both would have gotten away clean if they had a better meeting spot. All they really had to do was to get two burner phones and talk to each other, but no.....they had to meet in the middle of the day on the roof of some empty building. If they wanted to sacrifice Martin Sheen's character they could have easily done it in a more creative believable way. But no, let's just have the interns write a scene while we get massages, and then go home early.
@@repealthepatriotact writer* ... and so what? One scene out of this film doesn't make sense to you and you insult the integrity of the guy who wrote this Oscar winning film? I mean, it's a movie...not a real life documentary lol. Every movie out there has at least a dozen continuity errors in them alone... I mean, you can't honestly expect everything, literally every scene in a movie about fictitious events, to be 100% or even 90% realistic. That's a completely unrealistic expectation. Anyways... William Monahan still won the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay that year and rightfully so.
