2006's Golden Goose. Better yet, Scorsese's Golden Goose

Rating: 9/10 (7 October 2006)

This has everything a movie lover could want. Great plot, brilliant storyline and acting that you could die for. This is the golden goose of Martin Scorsese and of 2006. This is what Infernal Affairs U.S is. Guns, Action and a nasty Jack Nicholson which movie buffs have been wanting since his brilliant performance many years ago in 'Batman' as The Joker. If you want a film that shocks, surprises you and leaves you hungry for more, 'The Departed' IS this film.
The plot is pretty basic and understandable and the blurb tells you a lot. But you can follow through without becoming all confused (ala Matrix) and the story becomes more and more interesting. You start rooting for the good guys during this one even though the bad characters are really excellent. Especially Ray Winstone. He has a scene with Leonardo DiCaprio that just leaves you breathless (the scene in the bar for those who've seen it).
This is Scorse's Golden Goose, all right. :)
