年度最佳的片，还算不错，不过感觉还没到年度最佳的地步。Departed 原意是已逝，片中第一次出现这个词是在 Billy 母亲的碑文上，跟他惨淡的开局一样，也预示着结局也将是唏嘘的……香港的《无间道》系列我只看过第一部，刘梁两人在天台上面的对决想起还是颇为经典：给个机会我，我想做好人……对不起，我是警察……

如果说《无间道》是部警匪片，那这美版的顶多就算是黑道片而已。整个警察局没一件坚的：老态龙钟的警长 Queenan 被人跟踪了还浑不自知，看他那走路的姿势，极度外行中；口臭臭的助手 Dignam 在 Queenan 挂了后，直接被扫地出门；至于那个幽默的组长 Ellerby 甚至是那种无能到最后被排除在连环夺命锁之外的人——所以，Colin 玩晒，甚至是自始至终，根本没人怀疑他。

Billy 就惨多了。一心向上，却因为出身不好，被软硬兼施屈住来做卧底。奶油的莱昂纳多在片中终于MAN了一回，虽然最后也是挂的太没含金量了。至于地头蛇老 Frank，凭那酷似教父的造型和声线本是令人“肃然起敬”的人物，却非要猥琐地在电影院自得了一把，导演还专门SHOW了一下他的JJ以示他的歇斯底里和肆无忌惮……到死，还不都是一具BODY，甚至他的临死一枪也没伤 Colin 分毫，他根本连挣扎或反抗的能力都没。

哪怕老谋深算的他早就把跟 Colin 的对话都做了录音，但死后他的律师明显将 Billy 当作信任的人而将重要证据交给他（而不是警察局或FBI），所以 Frank 的棋术也真的太差了，他或许就玩女人厉害点。在对 Billy 的遗像做授勋仪式后，Colin 以为他从此就可以高枕无忧拉，谁知道早前被炒的 Dignam 最后爆冷做了那只黄雀中的黄雀，开出了那看似正义十足的终结一枪……

剧情简单，无力。中间那次卧底清洗事件，那个被流弹射中的老兄到死都没说出真相，最后才知道原来也是警方卧底——全片就这里给人以惊喜= =。最败笔的也许称得上是最后的电梯门事件拉：半路杀出来的那个SB卧底同伴；当然接着想都不用想就知道他会给 Colin 崩掉，哈哈，敢情是老马自己也明显感到剧情太流畅了，所以想故意在这里加点曲折……

当然，中心思想还是很明确的，镜头最后停在 Colin 大屋子的阳台上，一只悠然的老鼠在市政厅上悠然地停顿、路过……

Title : Comfortably Numb
Artist : Roger Waters
Album: The Wall - Live In Berlin 1990

Hello (hello hello),
is there anybody in there ?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone home ?
C'mon (c'mon c'mon), now,
I hear you're feelin' down.
Well, I can ease your pain
and get you on your feet again.
Relax (relax relax),
I need some information first.
Just the basic facts.
Can you show me where it hurts ?

There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
You lips move but I can't hear
what you're saying.

When I was a child, I had a fever.
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I've got that feeling once again,
I can't explain, you would not understand,
this is not how I am.

I have become comfortably numb.
I have become comfortably numb.

OK (ok ok) just a little pinprick.
There'll be no more { ah ah ah  ~ },
but you may feel a little sick.
Can you stand up (stand up, stand up) ?
I do believe it's working good.
That'll keep you going through the show,
c'mon it's time to go.
There is no pain
you are receding.
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
You lips move
but I can't hear what you're saying.
When I was a child,
I caught a fleeting glimpse,
out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look
but it was gone.
I cannot put my finger on it now,
the child is grown,
the dream is gone.
And I have become comfortably numb !
