Similar crossover quote, but you ever watch Snatch and Avengers:Endgame? Thanos asks Benicio Del Toro’s The Collector “where’s the stone” the exact same way Benicio Del Toro’s Frankie Four-fingers character asks a jeweler during a heist in Snatch. Awesome Easter egg moment for Endgame.
Aye Mayne i still don t understand why he didn’t get the oscar for this, because he was also a producer. It is even weird that Scorsese didn’t mention him when he got the Oscar (he said something like “I want to thank the producers Brad Grey and Graham King)
The tension & paranoia of being undercover with anyone that could kill you at any second is so strongly expressed by Leo. I was shocked he didn’t win an Oscar still after this.
Well I know this is common news but at the time he also had his performance in blood diamond and the Oscar campaign chose to use his performance in blood diamond.
Ehh, I don't know. I think when looking back at it, Billy's (Leo) death makes the movie more convoluted than it needs to be, especially when adding the whole Frank Costello (Jack Nicholson) is an informant plotline. Now don't get me wrong, the elevator scene when I first watched this film, was a shocking twist that made me drop my drink. I didn't see that coming, for real. But at the same time, it doesn't make any sense. Like how is Trooper Barrigan (the one to killed Billy) a mole? The movie establishes that Frank Costello met Colin (Damon) as a kid, but when did Frank met Barrigan? And WHY was Barrigan doing this? Like there's no foreshadowing of Barrigan's motives. And yeah, maybe Frank did this to cover up his bases, and added a few moles in, just in case one mole got outed or didn't make it far enough into the police force to be useful; but WHY does Barrigan know about Colin, but Colin doesn't know about Barrigan? I mean they were in the SAME training class, for crying out loud. Did Barrigan get turned later? I mean if we the audience are gonna go with the assumption that Barrigan's the mole and knows about what Colin's been doing and maybe Barrigan was only planted just to keep an eye on Colin, HOW does Barrigan know that Frank was an FBI informant? Colin, who has reached one of the HIGHEST RANKS of the State Police, didn't even know about it and only found out, due to a SINGLE journal entry from Captain Queenan. But that's because Billy told him, and Billy knew because some literal random drugged-up dude knew that he interrogated, because of LITERALLY WHATEVER REASON. I mean what's that dude's story? Now even if Barrigan WAS assigned by Frank to be a mole and keep tabs on Colin and that somehow he also snuck into the room and found Queenan's journal to learn that Frank's also a rat, in the film, Barrigan literally says, "Costello was gonna sell us to the FBI.". So HOW would Barrigan know that Frank was planning to sell them out? And WHY would even the FBI care? If Frank Costello was the FBI's rat and Colin and Barrigan were helping him, wouldn't Colin want to help Frank? Like would the FBI be psyched that Colin was doing the ground-work for them (I mean he keeps Frank out of trouble so they could keep giving him information.)? Also, the whole FBI plot with Frank being a rat, is only in The Departed BECAUSE of the whole bases around Whitey Bulger (who Costello's character is based on), which I can understand. But if I'm being honest, it really doesn't add anything to the film and would only make the plot sound more complicated than it needs to be. I guess Martin Scorsese, the writers, or studios thought that one of the themes should be what Mr French said, "It's a nation of f***ing rats.". Plus, once Barrigan kills Billy, then Brown, and then tell Colin that they have to stick together (But WHY exactly, if they're the only moles left?), Colin kills Barrigan? And for what reason? You see in the original movie Infernal Affairs, it makes sense, since Chan (who's suppose to be Billy's counterpart) calls the police to meet him at the building where he meets Lau (Colin's counterpart), so when Chan brings Lau downstairs, he's literally bringing him into police custody. Lau then kills Inspector B (Barrigan's counterpart), because he needs a fall-guy, since Chan already told the cops he has the mole in custody. But in The Departed, Billy hasn't told anyone about Colin, not even Trooper Brown. So now that Billy and Brown are dead, there really is no reason to kill Barrigan. They really could have both gone home and left those two there. Also, if you pay attention to the scene when Colin tries to cover the mess, you have to ask yourself HOW Colin would come up with a story that would explain this to the police. He says Barrigan attacked him, but wouldn't they tell from forensics that Billy punched him? I mean, they don't even give us Colin's complete made-up story to the police for why he was there. It's just all not coming together.

Me too man. This is my favorite movie and I've been asking for this for years and years. I haven't watched it yet, I feel like I should get some fancy Cognac or something
He's not afraid of the SSN because he's pretending to be someone he's not. Billy's always been presented as a smart, perceptive person. To him, frank asking his CRIME GANG for their personal info -- like they're setting up their direct deposits or some shit -- is strange and unusual behavior. This is a key moment in the story where Billy first gets the feeling that Frank knows there's a rat in his gang. This catapults Billy down a deeper hole of anxiety and stress, w an overwhelming sense of urgency to get tf outta dodge b4 (in Billy's mind) Frank inevitably discovers him to be the snitch and kills him.
I'm so glad you mentioned it, because one of the things that always bothered me in this movie, despite it being a sublime piece of cinema, is how unprofessional Madelyn is. She dismisses Billy's joke about killing himself, prescribes him pills even though he's drug seeking, then goes on to transfer him to another therapist, (this was actually one good thing), but she still sees him, complains about her boyfriend with him, and sleeps with him. It's nuts.
She was right to prescribe him pills. He was seeking drugs because he needed them. Too many people out there suffering because doctors are afraid of medication.
@@kingstarscream320 And many more suffer because they're not afraid of over-prescribing. If you really _need_ it, you'll get it. Lax regulations are how millions were made to become addicted to Oxy in the first place, and that's not a mistake to be repeated.

the blood on Billy's face after Frenchie shoots the guy isn't splatter from the shooting, its from when the victim throws that toy and hits his temple literally a second earlier. He has the bruise throughout a lot of the rest of the movie.
I was looking for this too. Too many dings in this one but I know the guys gotta do what he does but he literally shows his face in his own video where it's NOT splatter
The reason she pulled the dog away was because he was living in an "upper-class" building, but still looked upon as working class. This is touched upon in the scene when he purchases the apartment and explains to the realtor that he has a co-signer (Frank).

@@dangbro6502 Hi - by chance are you new to Cinema sins? They have a formula to use various sins on each movie - like other than "narration and comcast and roll credits" - they use others for variety like "you get a car, or something something clique". They also use a "Ah the movie did this wrong, or the person could have figured out this, or said this" when they very next scene answers their ridiculous sin :) They do this all the time :D have a look at almost all their videos - the sin they mention is answered due to a previous or next scene done on purpose :P

@@giri1478 there's a difference between hyperbolizing for the sake of comedy, and getting things factually wrong about a movie's story and/or missing/misinterpreting plot points.
@@katrinastevenson352 I was about to comment on that. I've obviously never seen Jack Nicholson's balls( and I'm not interested in seeing other men's balls, anyhow) but I'm assuming they're the same color as the rest of him so given that it was black, I always figured that he was using a black dildo and not his real junk.
5:45 Costello cares about Billy being in the business & is trying to talk him out of it because of his connection to Billy's family through his father and uncle and the respect he had for both men. It is also a juxtaposition of his relationship with Sullivan who, though he has known Colin intimately for longer and Colin started working for him sooner, is much more implicitly of the transactional, employer/employee relationship than the genuine mentor/mentee thing he shares with Costigan. Attend the note of serious, ceremonial pomp the scene takes when, at the beginning Costello gives Sullivan what can only be his official mob cell phone and compare it to the casual, matter-of-fact way which he gives Billy the same item later in the movie. It suggests an ease and a trust that is far more inherent to that relationship. Owed to the real concern/care he has for Billy demonstrated in this scene and later confirmed by Costello's lawyer giving his tapes to Billy. This is all fairly obvious. Although yes, considering Billy was known to have tried to become a cop, one can certainly argue the intelligence of such a move by Frank and why no one else in the crew legitimately suspects him is a headscratcher to say the least.
@HicksZ34 yeah it was used as a way to show how far he had fallen. At the start of the movie he could do no wrong and beautiful women smiled at his presence. At the end his cover and charm was wearing off and he was ignored by the elderly woman. You could tell by his reaction he didn't deal well with the rejection.
@@KelticTim I don’t think he was talking him out of that life tho. When he was talking about school. He was planning on doing what he did with Damon with DiCaprio
@@MrInfinity418 I don’t think you’re remembering the movie correctly. He was absolutely trying to get DiCaprio out of the gangster life, He never knew DiCaprio when he was a cop, so he never would’ve had a chance to use him the way he used Damon. By the time that talk happened, DiCaprio had already been “kicked off” the force, and done time. Nicholson had no clue he was still a cop.
@@KelticTim he didn’t know he was still a cop. He did however know he went to school to be a cop. Billy’s whole cover was he didn’t get through school. Frank was trying to get him to consider going back so that he could use him life he did Damon. Franks whole character was he didn’t respect or care about anyone besides himself. He lied to everyone and was a rat himself. Everything he did was for himself. So he totally was trying to manipulate billy into returning to school to be a cop to be a rat for him.
I love this movie. However, my only issue was how Colin couldn't figure out Billy was the mole. Colin knew that the mole was present at the transaction of the microprocessors where "the new guy was present" with only a few other associates. Why not investigate the "new guy" after you learned your group was infiltrated with a cop.
Off Topic: But after watching the F9 trailer (Fast and the Furious) over the weekend, I decided to start a GoFundMe to save the SinCounter from a sure demise.
Vasto Tales don’t worry, once the twist of F&F being part of the DCEU is exposing in 9. The sin counts for all the old F&F will be reset, since we know it happens in a superhero universe and the good guys are superhero’s in hiding. It’s why Gal Gadot is signed on for the next one titled: *Fast and Furious 10: the one with Wonder Woman*
Those are even fast & the furious movies at this point they just attach fast & the farious name to it so they can make a cool 500 million real quick ... Even when Paul Walker was still alive it was basically not that franchise anymore anyways I was just an action movie with no car racing and just a bunch of famous actors are big name actors those movie suck at this point I don't know why people keep going to watch them
love your channel. The coke scene is because Costello is using his own gear, and he starts to make poor decisions (and him acting like a rat is part of his stress mixed with being high). Did you notice the X's in the scenes with everyone who is doomed? see 9.42 , 9.35, and part of the X behind the guy at 5.51. Billie's X appears when he's at the airport saying "there is a rat inside your unit that is a fact". heaps more when you watch it again. love it
Re: Only having one guy in Costello's unit- Delahunt really was Queenan's other guy. Costello writes it off as cop misdirection, but it's proven true if you pay attention -- Delahunt gives Costigan the wrong address deliberately to keep him away from the rest of the crew, and then he doesn't tell the other guys because he's still trying to protect Costigan. This is thematically reinforced by Costello also being revealed to have a secondary rat in SIU, and one who was prominently framed as an extra throughout the film
Another theory: in a deleted scene Delahunt is revealed to have not turned Costigan in because whilst he has done a lot of bad in his life, he's never killed anyone or been the reason they've been killed ua-cam.com/video/f7ivCtiKWfw/v-deo.html
I don't think he knew that Billy was the other spy. He gave him bad directions to protect whatever guy Queenan was meeting with. He would've blamed Billy if he didn't come on time, and saved the rat. But Billy was the rat, and despite being given the wrong directions, came to the correct place. That is how he knew Billy was the spy, and he didn't tell on him because he was undercover police himself. In his last line "Tell me why I didn't tell them", he wants confirmation that he is a good guy. He wants Billy to know that he too is a good guy. Whatever Billy went through was nothing compared to what this guy went through. He was their tough guy and in the crew for years. All the identity issues Billy had, he would have had them too. After his hand in Queenan's death, he wanted confirmation that he was still a good guy, and by not outing Billy, he proved that he was.
Somil Mishra honestly, I don’t reckon he’s a cop. He just doesn’t want to be left in a dumpster and he doesn’t want to kill anybody. He wants his final act on earth to be saving someone, not leading them to their death
That theory that Delahunt was a second undercover in Frank's crew is demonstrably wrong. If you watch the deleted/extended death scene, Delahunt did give Billy the wrong address on accident and that is how he figured out that Billy was the rat. The reason Delahunt didn't tell the rest of the crew is that he wanted Billy to make sure they didn't just dump his body in a ditch. A few things if Delahunt had been a cop: 1) They would have had a uniformed pic for the news shot and there would have been a cop funeral which would have proved to Frank that Delahunt was a cop. 2) Delahunt had been with Frank for several years. That would have been the longest no-results undercover job ever, 3) If Delahunt had been a cop, the criminal career of Frank Costello would have been a minor footnote in the national scandal that was an undercover cop taking part in throwing a police captain off a roof to his death.
@@mollie4960 Well he's sort of at that level where he can afford to do any weird fucking movie he wants nowadays. He'll do the occasional "big" film, the occasional "action flick" and the occasional weird comedy/drama film.
8:12 dude, with that kind of phone keypad I can type a message without seeing it There are only 12 important button on that keypad And the 5 or jkl button has some marking to identify with touch
Yeah, that one feels like he's either too old or too young to have done much pre-smartphone texting. An entire generation of those of us who grew up in the 90s could bang out novels on a keypad. Considering that Costigan and Sullivan are presumably supposed to be in their early-to-mid 20s in the movie, they'd have grown up texting.
I'd argue that Damon's character feels like a conceited half-arser rather than a guy who would have properly committed something like that to muscle memory.
It always bugged me when we found out that Costello had two cops working for him. The whole movie was based off of Matt Damon being special, trained from a young kid to be Costello's rat. Then all of a sudden their are two of them? That's plot convenient
well you can see it that way, but i think it's actually only trying to potray how easily you can buy and corrupt people.. especially shows the typical gangster/mobster figure where they don't let anyone get in their way of achieving their goals or to keep that same power or position.. it reminds me of the 'bronx tale' quote: "better be feared than loved." these guys even after a lifetime of loyalty are gonna be threated like potential danger.. and i also think in reality most cops are crooked one.. they just haven't met the right price and opportunity.. so it's pretty justifing in context of the movie and it brings more shock to the ending.
@@aNdzel0t - See I know where you're coming from, but I disagree. It was set up merely for shock value. We all thought Matt Damon was caught and done for, only for an elevator to open and Leo gets shot by another mole (I'm using real names because it's been a while since I've seen the movie and I forgot the names) That is plot convenient, shock value with nothing that eluded to it. Scorcesse usually does a better job administering Chekhov's Gun. But this one was all for shock and awe Now, if there were little clues sprinkled throughout the film that there were more than mole present, it would make sense to the story. And perhaps there is and I can't remember, but I don't recall that
@@thepiperreport8198 i agree to some extent, but i think u overlooked the hints (that are small indeed), there was some scenes where Frank (Jack Nicholson) knew stuff before Sulivan (Matt Damon) even said anything to him, for example at the porncinema... where Sulivan is telling him he got reassigned to find the rat (himself), Frank already knew.. and Sulivan is pretty surprised about him knowing. but it's just Scorsese and details.. although i too think these film is weaker than his earlier work. And about the ending, how i got it.. it wasn't just shocking, (I kinda had a feeling it will get bad especially for the main characters...) it has a philosophical line followed throughout the film that the human life is insignificant and nothing but a "rat race".. that we are all rats lookin' to screw each other for selfish benefits.. and we all end up in the same dump in the end... it's depressing but realistic. but it's just my opinion, greetings sir. sorry for the long comments. :)
He didn't waste the coke, he 'flowered' the other girls ass with it but the movie doesn't show for some reason. I'm guessing the MPAA made them cut it or rate it NC17
I doubt it, especially if she had a thong on. So many other R-rated movies get away with such harsh nudity and sex scenes. This movie had maybe 1 legit sex scene and it cuts away before anything is scene or nudity. I think it was a directors choice to focus on Jack’s face instead of a butt shot.
I'm glad someone brings up one of the biggest plot holes. They know Billy was just thrown out of the police academy less then a year ago, they think there's a rat, but they don't kill him or even suspect him more then the rest of the crew??!! WTF?!
@jacksonmorgan4347 this is a flim you have to watch, lots of little details like this just seem to get overlooked. They tested him a bunch, his family worked for Costello before aka uncle Jackie and his Uncle Tommy. His father was hinted to be as smart as Billy, and Costello wishes he could've used him.
hahaha, i literally just wrote; february 2020: "that's not how copping works", when cops open fire on suspects just because. june 2020: that is definitely how copping works.
Frank Costellos guys just threw Queenan off the roof and then had a gun fight with the police where they severely injured police officers (including Delahunt, which was kind of strange seeing as he was also undercover), so I think the police would be right to open fire at this point
Me when I first saw the trailer for this movie: The main cast looks so generic and similar I can't tell who's who. How good could this movie REALLY be? Me after watching this movie: Each character had a well developed arc and this movie is a goddam MASTERPIECE!
"The movie suggests nothing of note in prison took place." Except, y'know, when the psych asks him "Did something happen to you?" Followed by Billy's very, very long pause. Then, "No."
And at the scene when it scrolls to the right showing him in the holding cell with the other inmates, behind Billy there is a big black guy eyeing him.
ALE thezombieslayer I think it shows us the beginning of his detatchment from of the police. He realises there’s no short way to describe all the bad shit he saw in there that the psychs would actually understand. So he just avoids the question.
I also like the "Easter Eggs" Scorsese leaves in this movie... So apparently, there's an 'X' right before someone important gets killed in this movie. Like you can see one of those 'Xs' at 19:05 on the carpet before he gets wacked. And also, Im pretty sure Scorsese explains why the buliding w/ the golden dome keeps getting closer & closer... I guess it means that these characters, (Damons especially) keep figuratively, "flying too close to the sun" & the golden dome being the sun?
I know I commented this already, but my favorite Easter egg is when Colin's is shot and after the croissants fall out it's revealed he bought the same groceries that Costello made the store owner give him as a child...except the sandwiches are pre-made. A guy like Colin isn't the type to make his own sandwiches.
The scene where he pulls a gun on DiCaprio who is completely unscripted so his facial reaction was actually genuine. He had no idea he was going to do that
Honestly I could text like that without seeing back when all we had was flip phones. After texting enough you learn what letter and how many clicks. Occasionally that T9 predictive thing would happen... But I used to text in class that way.
I second this, just commented basically the same thing. When you get so good at texting and knowing what buttons to hit you could do it blindfolded. Or in your coat pocket. Or under a desk in class.
I used to text inside my hoodie/under desk in class in the T9 days. The menus would be tough, I guess, but just typing and sending was easy with a simple 9 buttons.

8:10 - You've never had a flip phone? The "5" key on most phones have a ridge on it so you can find it without looking. Then just feel your way to the other keys. Also, you can program the phone to speed dial/text any number/contact you want. I used to do this while driving ALL the time, never once looking at the phone. Can't do it with phones nowadays, because of the touch screen.
I recently saw something, but for the life of me, I can't remember where, that a guy had posted about his wife. Apparently, she had a really hard time understanding this movie because she didn't realize Matt Damon, and Leonardo DiCaprio were different people for most of the film. Which I thought was crazy, but then all these other people came forward and said they had the same problem. A few even threw Mark Wahlberg in there too. They shared links to some photos of the three men, where, I gotta admit, they did look a lot alike, but not to the extent you couldn't tell them apart. Just surprised that something that seems so obvious to me, wasn't to someone else.
Holy shit, I guess more people than you know suffer from face blindness disorder. Can't tell Leonardo Di Caprio from Matt Damon, that's absolutely mental, Di Caprio is one of the most well known faces in Hollywood.
i've done it aswell..i do think this guy wouldn't have been able to due to adrenaline ,..he couldv'e just texted 911.. but you had to know how to Type a,b, or c for the 1 and so on
You missed something that always drove me insane. At the adult theater Leo is texting his boss, who is also texting back. Ringer isn't on in there. But all the sudden when he is pursing it goes off tone and all. What did he do? Decide it was a good idea as he was walking out the back door to stealthy follow the leak?
Lol it was much more deep symbolism then this guy could get,he hates obvious symbolism but misses subtle symbolism what a dummie because Billy was a rat and Cat eat Rats.
6:30 you are totally wrong in this part. Don't you get it? The fact that he is putting up a show to the other detectives that his "act" as the lawyer sucked the information of the "raid location". As he comes out of the room and asks to locate the number of the last call, that's when the raid is launched. This ploy was not to "warn" costello, but to create a fake raid, so they would leave the guy alone and not interrogate him further.
One of the greatest films of the 21st Century and arguably of all time. The ending was pretty much ruined for me when I was in high school when my parents were watching it on the living room TV and I happened to walk in and catch the elevator scene before I even knew what film they were watching. Even with that ENORMOUS bombshell of a spoiler, this film is still my favorite hands down. The level of genius in its editing, directing, and cinematography is matched only by its incredible casting and sensational acting. I can’t commend this film enough, and I’m sure this is nauseating to many people to read, so I’m sorry about that. But I’m so pumped this video is out- I’ve been waiting a loooong time for this one. Cheers!
I would've removed a sin for that whole exchange between Dignam, Queenan and Costigan at 7:30. The music, tension and especially the acting are spot on. I rewatch that scene like every week.
"So what's it like, finding yourself?" The foreshadowing in this scene where Colin asks Madolyn about "finding yourself" and then he soon figures out what its like to try and "find yourself" in an investigation, I never put those two together. Scorsese you're a genuis
There is an official, and adorable, CinemaSins Cat name Wallace, aka Wallypants (and maybe Walstopher?) from way back when. He's a big goofy orange tomcat, and is either in the "Everything Wrong With CinemaSins" video or has an old video dedicated specifically to him. So cute.
16:12 "lead criminal car with frank in tries a getaway and the cops just open fire on everyone, That's not how copping works!" im pretty sure it is in a lot of cases in the US
I remember wanting to go see this movie as a 10 yr old with my mom taking me bc I was already so in love with cinema and especially mob movies directed by Scorsese but the ticket guy told my mom the movie is really graphic so I had to wait till it got released on DVD and was later gifted it by my mom and I can still remember the first time watching it and declaring “this will probably be my favorite all time movie for the rest of my life” and 16 years later it’s still my favorite movie of all time 😅
As someone from Massachusetts, The Depahted is a great movie. It also is the only thing people bring up when you tell them you’re from MA. That or Dropkick Murphy’s.
Have you noticed that everytime a character and an X appear in the same frame, that character eventually dies. Alec Baldwin and Mark Wahlberg never had any X's in their frames. Martin Scorsese chose to foreshadow their deaths this way.
8:10 I clearly remember my parents coming up to me after they watched this film and said “we just watched a film where a character does that text thing you do”. I used to do that a lot back then, kind of a fun trick. So I’ll go ahead and remove that one sin.

I like Infernal Affairs’ ending more, the “Matt Damon” character survived everything, but he has to keep on being tortured by the weight of being a “rat”. All the others die as heroes. So in a way, you either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain
0:58 Yea, there's no need to show Dicaprio's character from childhood times. Just a guy with a so-so past who wants to be a cop. Matt Damon's character on the other hand requires insight into the past. We need to see how he was groomed and sculpted by Jack Nicholson's character since he was a young boy. Otherwise, the audience would be in the dark as to why Damon's character was loyal to Nicholson's character. He his dad? Uncle? Child molesting neighbor? We needed to see the cause, and purpose for Damon's character. Not Dicaprio's.
Here's my sin for this movie. When billy and his cousin are out dealing drugs, and billy says 'they're not supposed to be dealing this close to Worcester', and shortly show a Boston cop car. I use to live 15 mins from Worcester, and Worcester is not set in the city, or on the outskirts. It's 45mins to an hour West. So *DING* on the movie for thinking that the whole state lives in Boston
@@CCAFS617 also Worcester county. Although no one from Mass calls Worcester anything but the city. And in New England you say the street name. "Worcester street" rather than "drive down Worcester to Lexington"
yes, it hit him right where the blood was. It was his own blood. Honestly like half these sins are easily explained if you paid attention the movie. I feel bad for the dude who made this video because Departed is a pretty good movie if you have the intellect to keep up with and understand everything going on.
Mike Eckert IMDb had it at an 8.5, up there with movies like The Green Mile, Gladiator and Terminator 2. Not saying you're wrong, but you're probably in the minority here.
@@mullaoslo No. The film is shit. It's basically the moment Scorsese fully gave up any sense of craftsmanship and diligence and just starting loving the smell of his own masturbatory shit stink. Sure, it took him a decade or two longer than it took Quentin Tarantino, but this was the film where the benefit of the doubt ended for me. This wasn't a Scorsese film, it was a bad copy of a Scorsese film that just happened to be made by Martin Scorsese. It's as if Gordon Ramsey cook an amazing meal. Ate t. Shoved his fingers do3n his throat and spewed it back up into bowl, presented it all nice and offered it to you as a Gorden Ramsey meal. Technically not wrong, but fucking reheated puke and a cold, reformed mass of better movies.
Frank trusted Billy because he respected Billy's father and he commented that he was sad to see Billy there. He knew his father would never have allowed him to run with Frank's Cree. That's why he tries to get Billy to go back to school. I think he saw him like he saw Colin, better than his environment, but he respected Billy more.
Just rewatched this. I think Costello beating on Bill's arm and asking if he's a cop is not really meant to do anything but show how scary he is. Obviously no one would say yes as they'll be taken out then, but it basically shows what he's in for if he betrays him.
@@seancascanet3428 If he was a murdering criminal (or a criminal who caused the deaths of others) then I agree. It's great that he got a taste of his own medicine.
@@Ascoundrel Which is Exactly WHY it's such a good scene, nobody sees it coming, and the fact that it leaves one with more questions than answers gives the film re-watchability value to this day.
@@PIXPromosMore There's a thin like between "nobody saw it coming" and "it didn't exist until it happened," and there's not really much of any indication within the movie that Sullivan wasn't working alone.
5:15 i don't think I've heard anyone wonder about why "cigarette guy" was spitting out teeth after costigan pistol whipped his forehead, not his mouth....
Yesterday would have made a really amazing 30 minute episode of twilight zone. It had some super good scenes and also over half the scenes are totally unnecessary
Costello gets all kinds of grief for trusting Billy, but I think that misses the point Scorsese was making: This is why Billy was the perfect bait. They knew full well that Costello wouldn't trust him at first, and might even realize it was a dumb thing to do, but want to have another Costigan on his team so badly that he'd make a mistake like that. Costello wasn't being naive; Queenan just outsmarted him.
*I would've taken 100 sins off if, at the end, Mark Wahlberg tells Matt Damon's corpse "How do ya like them apples?" before exiting his apartment.*

Similar crossover quote, but you ever watch Snatch and Avengers:Endgame? Thanos asks Benicio Del Toro’s The Collector “where’s the stone” the exact same way Benicio Del Toro’s Frankie Four-fingers character asks a jeweler during a heist in Snatch. Awesome Easter egg moment for Endgame.
It was actually Infinity War.
tjlanglois1989 your right, my bad.
Applesauce, bitch
God I always forget how incredible the cast for this movie was.
Leo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, Mark Wahlberg, Martin Sheen
And they all overact all the while
Brad Pitt behind the scenes
Aye Mayne i still don t understand why he didn’t get the oscar for this, because he was also a producer. It is even weird that Scorsese didn’t mention him when he got the Oscar (he said something like “I want to thank the producers Brad Grey and Graham King)
Only ocean's eleven even comes close to matching this (in the 21st century)
8:40 Honestly a sin should be taken off for the "I'm the guy that does his job. You must be the other guy" line.
romulusnr like 100 sins
It’s funny cuz mark wahlberg starred in a movie called the other guys where they were cops who never did any real police work

This comment needs more thumbs up. And Cinemasins needs to re-do this one
@@barrynangle1319 That was after this movie though
The tension & paranoia of being undercover with anyone that could kill you at any second is so strongly expressed by Leo. I was shocked he didn’t win an Oscar still after this.
Im shocked that it took numerous amazing performances by Leo until he finally was given an Oscar.
Well I know this is common news but at the time he also had his performance in blood diamond and the Oscar campaign chose to use his performance in blood diamond.
This movie was bad & based on a Hong Kong 🎬. I saw it in theaters & really disliked it.
@@DavidLLambertmobile Well, good for you?
you'll agree the Scorsese rightly won the best director Oscar for this.
He skipped over Costigan’s death scene because he knew he would have had to remove all the sins if he didn’t
;-;
True that. Was bone chilling to me personally, totally did not expect it!
It was a shock to me cause I knew one was shot dead in the elevator but I thought it was Matt Damon’s character
@@OfficialParkit Me either. When the elevator scene happened, my mouth dropped and was like "what, whAT, What?!?"
Ehh, I don't know. I think when looking back at it, Billy's (Leo) death makes the movie more convoluted than it needs to be, especially when adding the whole Frank Costello (Jack Nicholson) is an informant plotline. Now don't get me wrong, the elevator scene when I first watched this film, was a shocking twist that made me drop my drink. I didn't see that coming, for real.
But at the same time, it doesn't make any sense. Like how is Trooper Barrigan (the one to killed Billy) a mole? The movie establishes that Frank Costello met Colin (Damon) as a kid, but when did Frank met Barrigan? And WHY was Barrigan doing this? Like there's no foreshadowing of Barrigan's motives. And yeah, maybe Frank did this to cover up his bases, and added a few moles in, just in case one mole got outed or didn't make it far enough into the police force to be useful; but WHY does Barrigan know about Colin, but Colin doesn't know about Barrigan? I mean they were in the SAME training class, for crying out loud. Did Barrigan get turned later? I mean if we the audience are gonna go with the assumption that Barrigan's the mole and knows about what Colin's been doing and maybe Barrigan was only planted just to keep an eye on Colin, HOW does Barrigan know that Frank was an FBI informant? Colin, who has reached one of the HIGHEST RANKS of the State Police, didn't even know about it and only found out, due to a SINGLE journal entry from Captain Queenan. But that's because Billy told him, and Billy knew because some literal random drugged-up dude knew that he interrogated, because of LITERALLY WHATEVER REASON. I mean what's that dude's story?
Now even if Barrigan WAS assigned by Frank to be a mole and keep tabs on Colin and that somehow he also snuck into the room and found Queenan's journal to learn that Frank's also a rat, in the film, Barrigan literally says, "Costello was gonna sell us to the FBI.". So HOW would Barrigan know that Frank was planning to sell them out? And WHY would even the FBI care? If Frank Costello was the FBI's rat and Colin and Barrigan were helping him, wouldn't Colin want to help Frank? Like would the FBI be psyched that Colin was doing the ground-work for them (I mean he keeps Frank out of trouble so they could keep giving him information.)?
Also, the whole FBI plot with Frank being a rat, is only in The Departed BECAUSE of the whole bases around Whitey Bulger (who Costello's character is based on), which I can understand. But if I'm being honest, it really doesn't add anything to the film and would only make the plot sound more complicated than it needs to be. I guess Martin Scorsese, the writers, or studios thought that one of the themes should be what Mr French said, "It's a nation of f***ing rats.".
Plus, once Barrigan kills Billy, then Brown, and then tell Colin that they have to stick together (But WHY exactly, if they're the only moles left?), Colin kills Barrigan? And for what reason? You see in the original movie Infernal Affairs, it makes sense, since Chan (who's suppose to be Billy's counterpart) calls the police to meet him at the building where he meets Lau (Colin's counterpart), so when Chan brings Lau downstairs, he's literally bringing him into police custody. Lau then kills Inspector B (Barrigan's counterpart), because he needs a fall-guy, since Chan already told the cops he has the mole in custody. But in The Departed, Billy hasn't told anyone about Colin, not even Trooper Brown. So now that Billy and Brown are dead, there really is no reason to kill Barrigan. They really could have both gone home and left those two there. Also, if you pay attention to the scene when Colin tries to cover the mess, you have to ask yourself HOW Colin would come up with a story that would explain this to the police. He says Barrigan attacked him, but wouldn't they tell from forensics that Billy punched him? I mean, they don't even give us Colin's complete made-up story to the police for why he was there.
It's just all not coming together.
Another rat symbolism some people might have missed: when Costigan says "You don't have cats... I like that", its because he is a "rat". Nice.
Ohhh wow I've seen this movie probably 10 times and never realized that until now.

He's not afraid of the SSN because he's pretending to be someone he's not. Billy's always been presented as a smart, perceptive person. To him, frank asking his CRIME GANG for their personal info -- like they're setting up their direct deposits or some shit -- is strange and unusual behavior. This is a key moment in the story where Billy first gets the feeling that Frank knows there's a rat in his gang. This catapults Billy down a deeper hole of anxiety and stress, w an overwhelming sense of urgency to get tf outta dodge b4 (in Billy's mind) Frank inevitably discovers him to be the snitch and kills him.
I'm so glad you mentioned it, because one of the things that always bothered me in this movie, despite it being a sublime piece of cinema, is how unprofessional Madelyn is. She dismisses Billy's joke about killing himself, prescribes him pills even though he's drug seeking, then goes on to transfer him to another therapist, (this was actually one good thing), but she still sees him, complains about her boyfriend with him, and sleeps with him. It's nuts.
To err is human.
She had problems too. They just weren't explored for reasons unknown
She was clearly very troubled herself. There's people like her in every profession who are unprofessional and troubled.
She was right to prescribe him pills. He was seeking drugs because he needed them. Too many people out there suffering because doctors are afraid of medication.

5:45 Costello cares about Billy being in the business & is trying to talk him out of it because of his connection to Billy's family through his father and uncle and the respect he had for both men.
It is also a juxtaposition of his relationship with Sullivan who, though he has known Colin intimately for longer and Colin started working for him sooner, is much more implicitly of the transactional, employer/employee relationship than the genuine mentor/mentee thing he shares with Costigan.
Attend the note of serious, ceremonial pomp the scene takes when, at the beginning Costello gives Sullivan what can only be his official mob cell phone and compare it to the casual, matter-of-fact way which he gives Billy the same item later in the movie. It suggests an ease and a trust that is far more inherent to that relationship. Owed to the real concern/care he has for Billy demonstrated in this scene and later confirmed by Costello's lawyer giving his tapes to Billy.
This is all fairly obvious. Although yes, considering Billy was known to have tried to become a cop, one can certainly argue the intelligence of such a move by Frank and why no one else in the crew legitimately suspects him is a headscratcher to say the least.

@@KelticTim he didn’t know he was still a cop. He did however know he went to school to be a cop. Billy’s whole cover was he didn’t get through school. Frank was trying to get him to consider going back so that he could use him life he did Damon. Franks whole character was he didn’t respect or care about anyone besides himself. He lied to everyone and was a rat himself. Everything he did was for himself. So he totally was trying to manipulate billy into returning to school to be a cop to be a rat for him.
I love this movie. However, my only issue was how Colin couldn't figure out Billy was the mole. Colin knew that the mole was present at the transaction of the microprocessors where "the new guy was present" with only a few other associates. Why not investigate the "new guy" after you learned your group was infiltrated with a cop.

Re: Only having one guy in Costello's unit-
Delahunt really was Queenan's other guy. Costello writes it off as cop misdirection, but it's proven true if you pay attention -- Delahunt gives Costigan the wrong address deliberately to keep him away from the rest of the crew, and then he doesn't tell the other guys because he's still trying to protect Costigan. This is thematically reinforced by Costello also being revealed to have a secondary rat in SIU, and one who was prominently framed as an extra throughout the film
Another theory: in a deleted scene Delahunt is revealed to have not turned Costigan in because whilst he has done a lot of bad in his life, he's never killed anyone or been the reason they've been killed ua-cam.com/video/f7ivCtiKWfw/v-deo.html
I don't think he knew that Billy was the other spy. He gave him bad directions to protect whatever guy Queenan was meeting with. He would've blamed Billy if he didn't come on time, and saved the rat. But Billy was the rat, and despite being given the wrong directions, came to the correct place. That is how he knew Billy was the spy, and he didn't tell on him because he was undercover police himself.
In his last line "Tell me why I didn't tell them", he wants confirmation that he is a good guy. He wants Billy to know that he too is a good guy. Whatever Billy went through was nothing compared to what this guy went through. He was their tough guy and in the crew for years. All the identity issues Billy had, he would have had them too. After his hand in Queenan's death, he wanted confirmation that he was still a good guy, and by not outing Billy, he proved that he was.
Somil Mishra honestly, I don’t reckon he’s a cop. He just doesn’t want to be left in a dumpster and he doesn’t want to kill anybody. He wants his final act on earth to be saving someone, not leading them to their death
The only thing undercover cops can’t kill anyone so really he should have stopped them from killing the chief
That theory that Delahunt was a second undercover in Frank's crew is demonstrably wrong. If you watch the deleted/extended death scene, Delahunt did give Billy the wrong address on accident and that is how he figured out that Billy was the rat. The reason Delahunt didn't tell the rest of the crew is that he wanted Billy to make sure they didn't just dump his body in a ditch. A few things if Delahunt had been a cop: 1) They would have had a uniformed pic for the news shot and there would have been a cop funeral which would have proved to Frank that Delahunt was a cop. 2) Delahunt had been with Frank for several years. That would have been the longest no-results undercover job ever, 3) If Delahunt had been a cop, the criminal career of Frank Costello would have been a minor footnote in the national scandal that was an undercover cop taking part in throwing a police captain off a roof to his death.
I hated Matt Damon in The Departed, but that means he made a good job.
Alpharius Omegon his old stuff was really good though. His performance in Good Will Hunting was fantastic. Too bad he went on to make “downsizing”

@@mollie4960 Well he's sort of at that level where he can afford to do any weird fucking movie he wants nowadays. He'll do the occasional "big" film, the occasional "action flick" and the occasional weird comedy/drama film.

8:12 dude, with that kind of phone keypad I can type a message without seeing it
There are only 12 important button on that keypad
And the 5 or jkl button has some marking to identify with touch
Yeah, that one feels like he's either too old or too young to have done much pre-smartphone texting. An entire generation of those of us who grew up in the 90s could bang out novels on a keypad. Considering that Costigan and Sullivan are presumably supposed to be in their early-to-mid 20s in the movie, they'd have grown up texting.
It's true, I used to hella text in my pocket with my slider phone and rarely misspell. It took a lot of practice, but definitely possible
@@thekeelo_g Right. 9 keys with early text prediction, hell even with tap, easy as abc 123.
@@thekeelo_g what are you, cinema sins sins?
I'd argue that Damon's character feels like a conceited half-arser rather than a guy who would have properly committed something like that to muscle memory.
It always bugged me when we found out that Costello had two cops working for him. The whole movie was based off of Matt Damon being special, trained from a young kid to be Costello's rat. Then all of a sudden their are two of them? That's plot convenient
well you can see it that way, but i think it's actually only trying to potray how easily you can buy and corrupt people.. especially shows the typical gangster/mobster figure where they don't let anyone get in their way of achieving their goals or to keep that same power or position.. it reminds me of the 'bronx tale' quote: "better be feared than loved." these guys even after a lifetime of loyalty are gonna be threated like potential danger.. and i also think in reality most cops are crooked one.. they just haven't met the right price and opportunity.. so it's pretty justifing in context of the movie and it brings more shock to the ending.
@@aNdzel0t - See I know where you're coming from, but I disagree. It was set up merely for shock value. We all thought Matt Damon was caught and done for, only for an elevator to open and Leo gets shot by another mole (I'm using real names because it's been a while since I've seen the movie and I forgot the names) That is plot convenient, shock value with nothing that eluded to it. Scorcesse usually does a better job administering Chekhov's Gun. But this one was all for shock and awe
Now, if there were little clues sprinkled throughout the film that there were more than mole present, it would make sense to the story. And perhaps there is and I can't remember, but I don't recall that
@@thepiperreport8198 i agree to some extent, but i think u overlooked the hints (that are small indeed), there was some scenes where Frank (Jack Nicholson) knew stuff before Sulivan (Matt Damon) even said anything to him, for example at the porncinema... where Sulivan is telling him he got reassigned to find the rat (himself), Frank already knew.. and Sulivan is pretty surprised about him knowing. but it's just Scorsese and details.. although i too think these film is weaker than his earlier work.
And about the ending, how i got it.. it wasn't just shocking, (I kinda had a feeling it will get bad especially for the main characters...) it has a philosophical line followed throughout the film that the human life is insignificant and nothing but a "rat race".. that we are all rats lookin' to screw each other for selfish benefits.. and we all end up in the same dump in the end... it's depressing but realistic. but it's just my opinion, greetings sir. sorry for the long comments. :)
Don't forget Queenan had another undercover Jimmy Bags in Costello's gang
@Christopher Perry oh yeah
He didn't waste the coke, he 'flowered' the other girls ass with it but the movie doesn't show for some reason. I'm guessing the MPAA made them cut it or rate it NC17
I doubt it, especially if she had a thong on. So many other R-rated movies get away with such harsh nudity and sex scenes. This movie had maybe 1 legit sex scene and it cuts away before anything is scene or nudity. I think it was a directors choice to focus on Jack’s face instead of a butt shot.
They should have had Matt Damon say at the end "Oh. Hi Mark." In Tommy Wiseaus voice.
"How's your sex life?"
"Not great".
You’re my favorite informant.
I didn't rat on them it's not true it's bullshit i did not rat on them I DID NAAAHT..
6:51 I’d like to point out the blood came from the same guy who got shot by Ray Winstone. He threw a toy at him

Farmiga; "It's a pretty serious relationship yeah".
Totally f*cking before the end of the movie.
"sentence."
Funny, how she tells Damon's character, "And I thought I was the liar.", when she still kinda is one.
@@osmanyousif7849 They both were liars.
I'm glad someone brings up one of the biggest plot holes. They know Billy was just thrown out of the police academy less then a year ago, they think there's a rat, but they don't kill him or even suspect him more then the rest of the crew??!! WTF?!
I mean he got tested twice to see if he was the rat, same with information being given to him
@jacksonmorgan4347 this is a flim you have to watch, lots of little details like this just seem to get overlooked. They tested him a bunch, his family worked for Costello before aka uncle Jackie and his Uncle Tommy. His father was hinted to be as smart as Billy, and Costello wishes he could've used him.
That’s funny when you mention the cops shouldn’t open fire. In fact, that IS how copping works.
hahaha, i literally just wrote;
february 2020: "that's not how copping works", when cops open fire on suspects just because.
june 2020: that is definitely how copping works.
Frank Costellos guys just threw Queenan off the roof and then had a gun fight with the police where they severely injured police officers (including Delahunt, which was kind of strange seeing as he was also undercover), so I think the police would be right to open fire at this point
@@daneg007 poor criminals, right?
Me when I first saw the trailer for this movie: The main cast looks so generic and similar I can't tell who's who. How good could this movie REALLY be?
Me after watching this movie: Each character had a well developed arc and this movie is a goddam MASTERPIECE!
Such a great flick. Have you seen The Irishman? Definitely not the same pace but really good.
I had a similar problem with a different movie. As much as I liked Pacific Rim, I had a hard time keeping track of a few generic white guys.
@@Sir_Duckyweather That's racist. *ding*

This movie is pretty much shot-by-shot remake of Korean movie "Internal Affairs". There is one key difference which made me like Korean version more.
13:45 it seems like a great “in the moment” thing because Nicholson improvised the entire scene; DiCaprio was sketched out for real
tropicAces that whole scene was the best part of the movie. Incredible acting by both
"The movie suggests nothing of note in prison took place."
Except, y'know, when the psych asks him "Did something happen to you?" Followed by Billy's very, very long pause. Then, "No."
So what does that suggests?
@@alemarioluiginator Going by Billy's unwillingness to even discuss it, and him bringing up the 'showers', I'd say sexual assault.
And at the scene when it scrolls to the right showing him in the holding cell with the other inmates, behind Billy there is a big black guy eyeing him.
ALE thezombieslayer I think it shows us the beginning of his detatchment from of the police. He realises there’s no short way to describe all the bad shit he saw in there that the psychs would actually understand. So he just avoids the question.
@@ConfusedGeriatric he wouldnt have to explain anything too much you would think since most of her clients are ex cons and cops/ex cops.
I also like the "Easter Eggs" Scorsese leaves in this movie... So apparently, there's an 'X' right before someone important gets killed in this movie. Like you can see one of those 'Xs' at 19:05 on the carpet before he gets wacked.
And also, Im pretty sure Scorsese explains why the buliding w/ the golden dome keeps getting closer & closer... I guess it means that these characters, (Damons especially) keep figuratively, "flying too close to the sun" & the golden dome being the sun?
I know I commented this already, but my favorite Easter egg is when Colin's is shot and after the croissants fall out it's revealed he bought the same groceries that Costello made the store owner give him as a child...except the sandwiches are pre-made. A guy like Colin isn't the type to make his own sandwiches.
The scene where he pulls a gun on DiCaprio who is completely unscripted so his facial reaction was actually genuine. He had no idea he was going to do that
Honestly I could text like that without seeing back when all we had was flip phones. After texting enough you learn what letter and how many clicks. Occasionally that T9 predictive thing would happen... But I used to text in class that way.
I second this, just commented basically the same thing. When you get so good at texting and knowing what buttons to hit you could do it blindfolded. Or in your coat pocket. Or under a desk in class.
That's what I like about older phones with physical keyboards
I used to text inside my hoodie/under desk in class in the T9 days. The menus would be tough, I guess, but just typing and sending was easy with a simple 9 buttons.
This movie was a gift to all citizins by Martin Scorsese
A gift he doesn't even like. And I agree.
Nice play on the incorrect spelling 👍

It was actually a remake of a Chinese movie.
“Playing ‘I’m Shipping Up to Boston’ in any situation even remotely related to Boston or Irish cliché.” Ding!
I think Conor McGregor even used it as walk-out music once.
Thank you!
The song was released in 2005, Departed released in 2006. Departed was the first one to use the song in this context. Conor McGregor and the other copycats should be sinned, not the original
8:10 - You've never had a flip phone? The "5" key on most phones have a ridge on it so you can find it without looking. Then just feel your way to the other keys. Also, you can program the phone to speed dial/text any number/contact you want. I used to do this while driving ALL the time, never once looking at the phone. Can't do it with phones nowadays, because of the touch screen.
I recently saw something, but for the life of me, I can't remember where, that a guy had posted about his wife. Apparently, she had a really hard time understanding this movie because she didn't realize Matt Damon, and Leonardo DiCaprio were different people for most of the film. Which I thought was crazy, but then all these other people came forward and said they had the same problem. A few even threw Mark Wahlberg in there too. They shared links to some photos of the three men, where, I gotta admit, they did look a lot alike, but not to the extent you couldn't tell them apart. Just surprised that something that seems so obvious to me, wasn't to someone else.
LOL
All white people look alike if you don't meet them often
Holy shit, I guess more people than you know suffer from face blindness disorder. Can't tell Leonardo Di Caprio from Matt Damon, that's absolutely mental, Di Caprio is one of the most well known faces in Hollywood.
To be honest, I couldn't tell Matt Damon and Mark Wahlberg apart.
I'm one. I can't watch this movie without getting confused at least part of the time. Leo and Mark look similar several times and they both play cops.
Actually i typed with those phones in my pocket a lot
So did I! I use to type like that while driving only taking a few glances.
i've done it aswell..i do think this guy wouldn't have been able to due to adrenaline ,..he couldv'e just texted 911.. but you had to know how to Type a,b, or c for the 1 and so on

As he comes out of the room and asks to locate the number of the last call, that's when the raid is launched.
This ploy was not to "warn" costello, but to create a fake raid, so they would leave the guy alone and not interrogate him further.
My mother was having a great time watching this movies until the leo elevator scene and it broke her heart
That scene hit me like a truck the first time I saw it
One of the greatest films of the 21st Century and arguably of all time. The ending was pretty much ruined for me when I was in high school when my parents were watching it on the living room TV and I happened to walk in and catch the elevator scene before I even knew what film they were watching. Even with that ENORMOUS bombshell of a spoiler, this film is still my favorite hands down. The level of genius in its editing, directing, and cinematography is matched only by its incredible casting and sensational acting. I can’t commend this film enough, and I’m sure this is nauseating to many people to read, so I’m sorry about that. But I’m so pumped this video is out- I’ve been waiting a loooong time for this one. Cheers!
One of the best films of all ? Wow. Come on dude. This is one of the worst films Marty ever made.
I would've removed a sin for that whole exchange between Dignam, Queenan and Costigan at 7:30.
The music, tension and especially the acting are spot on. I rewatch that scene like every week.
Come on, Nicholson doing the rat face deserves 5 sins off, I always thought that was a classic part.
"So what's it like, finding yourself?" The foreshadowing in this scene where Colin asks Madolyn about "finding yourself" and then he soon figures out what its like to try and "find yourself" in an investigation, I never put those two together. Scorsese you're a genuis

I'm guessing Jeremy is a fan of cats. This makes me want to see the Everything Wrong With Cats video even more.

There is an official, and adorable, CinemaSins Cat name Wallace, aka Wallypants (and maybe Walstopher?) from way back when. He's a big goofy orange tomcat, and is either in the "Everything Wrong With CinemaSins" video or has an old video dedicated specifically to him. So cute.

I like Infernal Affairs’ ending more, the “Matt Damon” character survived everything, but he has to keep on being tortured by the weight of being a “rat”. All the others die as heroes. So in a way, you either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain
Sort of like The Last King of Scotland; where James McAvoy knows he deserved to die while others who didn't, where killed because of things he did.
Really hard to get an All-Star cast like this together in a film nowadays and have it actually work
0:58 Yea, there's no need to show Dicaprio's character from childhood times. Just a guy with a so-so past who wants to be a cop.
Matt Damon's character on the other hand requires insight into the past. We need to see how he was groomed and sculpted by Jack Nicholson's character since he was a young boy. Otherwise, the audience would be in the dark as to why Damon's character was loyal to Nicholson's character. He his dad? Uncle? Child molesting neighbor?
We needed to see the cause, and purpose for Damon's character. Not Dicaprio's.
Here's my sin for this movie. When billy and his cousin are out dealing drugs, and billy says 'they're not supposed to be dealing this close to Worcester', and shortly show a Boston cop car. I use to live 15 mins from Worcester, and Worcester is not set in the city, or on the outskirts. It's 45mins to an hour West. So *DING* on the movie for thinking that the whole state lives in Boston

@@AnonEyeMouse care to give any points to back up your opinion, or do you just want to leave your comment as an empty rambling rant?
Frank trusted Billy because he respected Billy's father and he commented that he was sad to see Billy there. He knew his father would never have allowed him to run with Frank's Cree. That's why he tries to get Billy to go back to school. I think he saw him like he saw Colin, better than his environment, but he respected Billy more.
Your forgetting his uncle? He was in Frank's crew until he got killed in 98.
His Uncle was part of Frank's crew until 98
Just rewatched this. I think Costello beating on Bill's arm and asking if he's a cop is not really meant to do anything but show how scary he is.

Costello gets all kinds of grief for trusting Billy, but I think that misses the point Scorsese was making: This is why Billy was the perfect bait. They knew full well that Costello wouldn't trust him at first, and might even realize it was a dumb thing to do, but want to have another Costigan on his team so badly that he'd make a mistake like that. Costello wasn't being naive; Queenan just outsmarted him.
The writing of this movie is a good example of how good acting can make one overlook that
