Re: Saw it today
I didn't see the plot holes you mention. Damon saw Nicholson as a father figure and he always knew he'd use the police as a way to get ahead via his connection with Nicholson. And DiCaprio was quite a hothead and didn't care for his family who had had some relationships with Nicholson's organization.
A bigger hole for me was the fact that Nicholson himself goes to the buys. Even Damon (?) tells him he shouldn't be going himself. Another (bigger one) was that how could Nicholson and his men not know who the rat was? It had to be the new kid who got "kicked" out of the police.
But more importantly: did you catch the homage to Psycho? I caught the Third Man reference, but don't know Psycho well enough. Ask John to tell you what it is and then tell me. Thanks.
