Set record on my DVD too late and I want to watch the TV version.
I think I started with Alec Baldwin and Martin Sheen talking to Leo Sicaprio about wanting /nor wanting towe be a cop.
Please tell me what u missed!

Um, I can't remember exactly. One of them is undercover as a cop for the mob (although not directly, lost his father and the mobster keeps trying to take him under his wing) and the other is a cop going undercover with the dealers. I think you see one of them graduating from the academy?

Both of them, if I remember correctly. But Damon is doing it for the mob, and Leo is asked to go undercover shortly after graduating.

Hands down, this is one of my favorite movies. (And I tend to like subtitled indie films that my husband hates.)

Best line ever. . ."I am Irish Catholic. I can deal with shit being wrong for the rest of my life."

The elevator dialogue between Matt Damon and his counterpart resulted in an enduring crush on him. It is embarrasing how many times I have watched "I'm fucking Matt Damon" on youtube.

OP here. Just finished this and it was quite a good flick!
I thought I read it was based on the Boston guy Whitey Bolger, who was also suspected of having some connection to the FBI.
PenguinSix - you know random and interesting stuff - had you heard the same about Whitey?
