An sharp drama with superb performances and strong direction by Scorsese.

Rating: 9/10 (1 March 2007)

Colin Sullivan (Oscar-Winner:Matt Damon) just graduated from the Police Academy training, his Irish boss Frank Costello (Three Time Oscar-Winner:Jack Nicholson) wants him to infiltrate the police force as a informer for the syndicate. Captain Queenan (Martin Sheen) and his partner (Mark Wahlberg) sent a young rookie Billy Costigan (Leonardo DiCarpio) to be a "made guy" to be undercover at Costello's mob team. Each side knows that they have a mole in the opposite sides. One of them is waiting to be cracked. Both side faces dangerous situations that might never be resolved.
Directed by Martin Scorsese (The Aviator, Cape Fear "1991", Taxi Driver) made a terrific, extremely fast-paced drama with moments of strong violence and dark humour. The cast are excellent, including:Ray Winstone, Vera Farmiga, Anthony Anderson and Alec Baldwin. Which is Based on a 2002 Korean film titled "Infernal Affairs". Which it was directed by Andrew Lau Wai Keung and Felix Chong. This was one of the biggest hits of 2006. It also won for Four Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapated Screenplay and Best Editing. Walhberg was nominated for Best Supporting Actor.
DVD has an sharp anamorphic Widescreen (2.35:1) transfer and an strong-Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. The single disc edition includes only one extra, which is the original theatrical trailer. The two disc set includes:Behind the Scenes featurette, Deleted Scenes and more. Probably the most unique thing of the movie that it doesn't feel like a Scorsese picture and it is very straight-forward unlike most of his work. One of the producers is actor:Brad Pitt. Based on a Screenplay by Alan Max and Felix Chong. Screenplay by William Monaham (Jurassic Park 4, Kingdom of Heaven, Tripoli). Super 35. (**** 1/2 out of *****).
