absolute stunner

Rating: 9/10 (13 September 2016)

The music, direction and story was something that was truly captivating and when actors like leo , Matt and Jack Nicholson are given all the ingredients to make a movie , the academy surely looks like a childs play..I'm a fan of the Hong Kong film, INFERNAL AFFAIRS, upon which this is based. While THE DEPARTED keeps the basic structure of the original, it is very much its own movie, so much so that the screenwriter, William Monahan, didn't even watch the original film while adapting its screenplay, thus enabling him to infuse the script with his, and Scorsese's, respective visions. I have now started finding better movies through www.flickstree.com. It not only suggests great movies to watch, it also tells where you can watch the movie online.. Highly recommended.
