He told them he wasn't. Try paying attention. He does it at least three times, including his first loving scene with Nicholson.

It's called "acting", stupid. If they had noticed that he was a rat the movie would have been over in a couple of minutes, so they paid actors to pretend to be gangsters that believe him. Use your head next time, please.

Because the mob boss puts together a scheme to find the rat. He leaves people he suspects behind while he does a "new job with new guys". Leonardo's character calls this into Marky Mark, saying he doesn't know what's going on. Marky Mark tells him to gently caress off and doesn't do anything with the information. Since the cops don't show up on the new job with the new guys the mob boss thinks Leo is clean.

I don't think Martin is an untouchable god genius, but i think on craft alone he is in no sense bad at directing. He's chosen a lot of terrible scripts to make movies out of, i guess, but that's something else.

The real loving crime of that movie is random guy who shoots Leo in the elevator. A character never referenced or really seen in the movie before merely as a gently caress you, you won't see it coming moment to the watcher

His early movies are great but he really got pretty bad in the 90s and 00s and when I heard he was remaking Infernal Affairs I thought, welp, that is it.

And at the Oscars when the "Best" director presenters were Spielberg, Lucas and Coppola I guffawed so loudly I startled my dog. So transparent.

That guy repeatedly showed up in the movie, acted goony, and then the camera lingered on him while matt damon walked away and he made a thoughtful face he was basically chekov's gun

All that was missing was a riddling pipe organ sound effect to tip you off that something was up like dun-dun-DUNNN???????

Scorcese is good at movies but The Departed was p lame

Bringing Out The Dead was p good even though patricia arquette tried to ruin it

Also Tarantino's poo poo is almost all above par except Jackie Brown
