I'm astonished Ben Affleck, George Clooney, and William Monahan spent time on this. Not that I always respect the choices of the first two, but they're mega names, and Monahan wrote one of my favorite screenplays ever in The Departed. Actually, I hear Clooney as director dumbed down Kaufman's Dangerous Mind screenplay. Maybe Monahan got a similar treatment. Otherwise, Monahan himself has frighteningly dumbed down since 2006. Or maybe Scorsese is the real Departed author?
