Best Scorsese movie in 6 years

Rating: 8/10 (7 October 2006)

I've seen most of gangs of new york and i've seen the aviator. Neither hold a candle to this movie. It felt great seeing Scorsese going back to his gangster roots. It's what he needed to do. My friend did tell me it was the same exact premise of the Japanese movie infernal affairs, and as i looked up this movie after i saw it, i wasn't surprised to see that it was worked on by some of the same writers as the Japanese movie. So i guess this is just an American version of it, which kind of disappointed me that the idea wasn't fully original. Plus towards the end it gets a little TOO crazy. But i was still satisfied with the ending itself, didn't leave anything unanswered. So in the long run, i highly suggest seeing this movie, Its well worth the $8.25.
