One of the best Scorsese ever did

Rating: 10/10 (13 October 2006)

This a great remake. Just like the Magificent Seven was a great remake of the Seven Samurai. This was a great remake of Infernal Affairs. I mean that in the most positive way.
The Departed does a great job of taking an Asian movie and transforming it into something as American as apple pie. Scorsese creates great distinctly American characters. Damon, Nicholson, and Wahlberg are outstanding.
I just saw Infernal affairs about a month before The Departed and I I appreciate them both more. One movie doesn't spoil the other, they explore the plot in different ways.
I highly recommend both movies.
