The Departed vs. L.A. Confidential
Sure, the entire LAPD whimpers at the sight of Russell’s Bud White, and yeah, he has utmost vitriol for pig-men that beat on women, but … he falls for a prostitute. What’s ghetto about something that’s on every politician’s to-do list? Instead, let’s look at Leo’s version of a cop. He goes undercover to get an in-person invitation to join Jack Nicholson’s nasty mob in South Boston. He whacks people; he shoves Marky Mark around. Yes, he dies, but he dies with the satisfaction of bagging Matt Damon’s girlfriend.
Leo: 1; Russell: 1
