A movie basically about a corrupt "cop", didn't Scorcese just direct a little movie like that called The Departed? I guess because they changed it to New York instead of Boston it's different. :rolleyes:

I don't think this movie will be anything like the Departed.

Why is it that rappers play the black characters all the time nowadays? There are black actors...

Not really. Outside of Denzel, Morgan Freeman and Samuel L. Jackson there are now good mainstream black actors. If 50 wasn't gonna play this part it would have been another "rapper" like Mos Def playing that role.

In the last three years all of the following black actors were nominated for Oscars:

Forest Whitaker
Will Smith
Djimon Hounsou
Eddie Murphy
Terrence Howard
Jamie Foxx
Don Cheadle
Morgan Freeman

The only reason I could see for him being cast is if the role is of a mid-20s gangsta, and even then, I'm positive there are better options.

I guess they cast him to take advantage of his commercial appeal.

He plays too many eccentric characters. Ghost Dog anyone?

Horribly overated and smug.

Too African. "Give us, us free"

Doc Brown needs to fire up the DeLorean and bring the Eddie Murphy of 1987 back.

Trying to be the next Denzel. There is only one Denzel.

The Donovan McNabb of Hollywood.

How about Mekhi Phifer? He's not in his 20's anymore, but I think he could pull off the part.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to another DeNiro/Pacino movie. They were good together in 'Heat'.
