Watched it twice!

"The acting between Tom Hanks and Philip Seymour Hoffman was one of the best I've seen in ages. They played off each other so well. Tom Hanks begins as a notorious Texan Congressman and womanizer but can't help but notice television pictures of what was happening in Afghanistan. He becomes involved in building the money budget for these people to keep them from being totally taken out by the Russians. Visits the country several times to see for hmself what these people are going through, how everyone is being killed by the Red Army and is overtaken by his emotions towards the events there. Philip Seymour Hoffman joins Hanks as a comrade in solving this catastropic dilemma, traveling from country to country to put a stop to the Russians and by raising more and more money by just "showing" the other politicans is REALLY going on in that country. If you want to see a movie that has humor, drama and suspence, then this movie is for you. " [More]

"This movie was great - although it goes back and forth from past to future, the premise of two brothers hatching up a scheme that totally blows up in their face is nt the only thing that happens. They also become more and more involved in money schemes, murder and the ending is the ultimate. I highly recommend it, especially if you're a Philip Seymour Hoffman fanatic, as I am. I've never seen this man act badly...he's an awesome actor. " [More]

"A lot of my friends didn't like this movie because there was so much blood (especially with Jack Nicholson), but I loved it so much I watched it twice. A must if you like the stars; they're all incredible in The Departed. " [More]
