Textbook for adapting rather than lousy remaking

Rating: 9/10 (7 November 2017)

Mainly the remake of Infernal Affairs but actually taking every great thing in the Infernal Affairs trilogy The Departed surpasses the greatness of the original. The only thing that shines dimmer would be Dicaprio's performance compared to Tony Leung's in my opinion, Dicaprio was amazing but Leung just edged out. The original Infernal Affairs had the strength of a powerful script and stunning performances, but when the director is Martin Scorsese every single aspect is near perfect.
