'The Departed' by Scorsese

The Cistern Kid and I watched it earlier tonight. Pretty good, but I get the impression that it was heavily edited - there was lots going on that hadn't been explained, and there was the odd hole. It reminded me of the story behind 'Gangs of New York', where Scorsese shot several hours of footage, and producer Harvey Weinstein of Miramax was heaping pressure on the director to cut back on the screentime. Leonardo DiCaprio acted well (despite the intensely boyish babyface - he's 3 years younger than me!) and came across with lots of DeNiro-like mannerisms.
