Default Ending Question

If you haven't seen the movie and are still reading for some reason, this post has a spoiler.



ok, you've been warned.
I loved the movie, but the one thing I didn't understand was how the second informant for Costello knew that there was the meeting. Damon's character was clearly surprised at him showing up, and obviously DiCaprio had no idea. I can't imagine the black cop that DiCaprio called would have told anyone, either.

td,

The 2nd mole just comes too much out of left field to me. The stuff with Marky Mark is fine, it's just that the other guy seemed too much like a nice plot device to let them get to where they needed to be in a nice clean easy fashion.

Now that we're nitpicking I have a question. Perhaps I'm too dense to understand the ending, but why wouldn't DiCaprio have called Marky Mark to that building at the end instead of Anthony Anderson? Just doesn't make sense.

Anthony Anderson has more reason to trust him, and Marky Mark is in theory not a police, and Leo clearly wanted to have Damon arrested.

i don't think the second mole comes out of left field. it's setup when costello already knows about sullivan's promotion in the theatre. as for how he knew about the meeting, maybe sullivan told him? they were partners. or anthony brought him, they worked together too.

I had a problem with how the second mole got presented in the departed. In IA there are hints at a second mole the entire time as you see him with Andy Lau's young character at teh begining when the crime boss is talking to the young soon to be in training cops. You also see the second mole get used a bit more in IA

When a character has 2 lines in the whole movie, then all of a sudden reveals himself as something huge, while killing the main character, and then gets killed off so they don't have to explain anything, that = left field.

I jsy got back from seeing this for my [censored] B0DAYYY!!! HOLLA! This movie was sick and lived up to the very high expectations i had for it. Those hating on Leo in this thread are [censored], DiCaprio is a [censored] sick actor. I have had a lot of respect for him since Catch me If You Can.

Went to the bars after, great night. now if you dont mind Imma go get my "other" b-day present frrom my girlfriend...B-DAY ANAL BABY - HOLLA!!!

[/ QUOTE ]

1) Why did you get home from the bars at 12am?

2) Why did you feel the need to post online before commencing with said anal?

3) Anal is better when watched in porn, overrated in real life. ESPECIALLY with the gf.
