Extravaganza of betrayal & loyalty.......

Rating: 10/10 (2 June 2010)

Scorsese brings to us a perfect adaptation of Infernal Affairs, a great Hong Kong crime thriller.Even i saw Infernal Affairs before seeing the departed.The movie is an achievement in itself but what hampers the presence are the subtitles to go along.But then Scorsese brings to us a movie based on loyalty & betrayal which will be a perfect departure for all movie lovers.Leonardo & Matt Demon were superb.Usually crime movie follows like,one is a cop & other is a mobster.Not this time.Be prepared to get your imaginations & your expectations banged hard.The twists & the ending everything just fits too well on screen.Then you have the maestro himself Jack Nicholson,who again proves he is the best.The tempo of the movie is fast so audience get glued to the movie as well as the dialog delivery are perfect.I can't forget this movie with such a unique cast with Martin Sheen & Mark Wahlberg too in it.Scorsese should have won the Oscar before,many people say.Nor i have seen Goodfellas neither Raging Bull,but now i have to,as i know Scorsese sure has the element to surprise me.He did exactly that with The Departed & Shutter Island. This is a great adaptation with some pretty cool dialogs.My personal best is : "Today, what I'm saying to you is this: when you're facing a loaded gun, what's the difference?".Scorsese direction is exceptional & the rat concept gets to the audience.But is everything fair in loyalty & betrayal.This is a must watch for all crime movie lovers.I gave Infernal Affairs 9 because its pretty cool film,even better then The Departed.But Departed deserves 10 due to just the brilliance of Jack Nicholson.This is an extravaganza of betrayal & loyalty.....
