...rise so quickly in the force, and be deemed so trustworthy that he'd be assigned to sleuth out the rat on the team - himself. The Departed adds one coincidence even the Hong Kong film didn't dare: that both men would become romantically involved with the same woman, Madolyn, a police psychiatrist, well played by Vera Farmiga. (In the original, the shrink and the bad cop's girlfriend were separate characters.) Oh, and the cell phones all these guys whisper their subversions into - can't they be bugged...
...similar role, of the charming swine, in The Talented Mr. Ripley.) What's true about Colin's nature is that he's the man on the rise and on the make, with a practiced smile that can impress the cops and please the ladies.

Metcalfe binds the play's kaleidoscopic moods with chatty monologues by the central character. In a role that could easily become unlikable, Madolyn Smith, best known as the star of the CBS-TV mini-series If Tomorrow Comes, enlists playgoers' sympathy from the first moment and charms them right through her final perplexed, ingratiating grin. She is so appealing, so candid and self-critical and spunky, that at times it is hard...
