Gooch Wrote:I actually agree with Galts take. The editting was not so bad, but the continuity was sloppy...made me think it had to be on purpose..but not sure. never saw Infernal Affairs, the Hong kong movie its based on. Jack overacted, and I'd had preferred a more creepy fellow, it wasn't bad persay. Damon's character was scripted a bit shallow. DiCaprio was very good. Alec Baldwin was hilarious...and made me with Marky Mark's straightforward lines which were funny, were spoken by someone with acting skills. No depth. Dialogue, overall, was excellent, which leads to believe that someone was brought in to "punch" it up. ((Mamet, Tarantino sometimes do that)). The directing was excellent, and it was a very good movie with a few points of contention.
Yeah, Baldwin was great - and I hate him. He should only do roles like this/Outside Providence. Looks like his character in 30 Rock is like this too.
Continuity is really what I meant by "editing". It was bad. Not quite "Braveheart bad" but pretty bad.
I still can't get over the last scene. It was so cheesy it makes me cry. Just that 2 seconds of film should lose him any chance at an Oscar.
