So at the end, when Marky Mark shoots Damon, was Marky Mark the mole all along?

It'll be explained in a sequel. If they end up doing it, not sure on the current status.

No, I think he just got the letter from the girl both Damon and Di Caprio were seeing that Di Caprio told her to open if anything went wrong, which fingered Damon as the mole, so Wahlberg was just getting revenge/cleaning up the situation.

Yeah, that's what I got from it as well.

[OGpistolpete]

Alright, I'll just go with the letter part. Makes sense.

I hope they do a sequel, I thought it was a great movie.

[Bushmeister]

It was.

Great movie, I didn't realize it was Wahlberg standing there at the end, so I was like "Wait, what the fuck just happened there?"

I never understood the moive on the first viewing, but the second one I payed more attention so it was a lot better and more understandable.

Damon's character is a mole inside of the police dept. for Nicholson, who is an informant for the FBI and who has Di Caprio a part of his team, who is a mole put into Nicholson's little group by Wahlburg and Queenan I think the characters name is. My first viewing near the end I was wondering what significance the envelope that Di Caprio saw on Damon's desk was, but the second viewing I saw that it was the envelope Di Caprio wrote on earlier to show someone how to spell a word when Nicholson wanted everyones SS numbers so he could pass it onto Damon's character to find out who in his group was a mole put in place by the police.

I always saw it as Wahlberg's character, after seeing everything go down, saying "Fuck this!" and making the situation right.

[TheSqauredCircleMessiah]

To me, it's a pretty big plot hole. In the film, Wahlberg's character had vanished. Di Caprio couldn't get a hold of him, neither could Anthony Anderson or anybody. They never explained how he found out Damon was the mole unless he killed him just because he thought Damon was a tool.

[Sweet Clyde]

It could have been both, he killed Damon cause he was a duece(Damon) and Walberg was another mole.

How could they do a sequel, everyone but the girl and Walberg are dead?

[thuganomic]

I believe the idea would be it would also be a prequel, showing how the mob came into power in the first place.

[FLiam]

I don't understand how people don't get this film.

It is obvious Damon is the mole, because he is the one always talking with Frank Costello etc. Wahlberg killed him at the end because he obviously found this out, and after everything that happened, including Martin Sheen's character dying, he was just making things right as Damon was shown to be a hero, when he wasn't.
