I chose 'The Departed', over 'Children Of Men' on a plane flight last week.
I loved 'The Departed', (DiCaprio, Nicholson & Damon were superb), but your review of 'Children...' makes me want to see it.
I think it's just been released on DVD in the UK (Clive Owen is a great actor, and should've been Bond, around the time Brosnan got it).
The Scarfe story was funny!
