Martin Scorsese nearly got it.

Rating: 8/10 (9 November 2006)

I'll give credit where credit is due. If any one could have pulled this movie off, it was Scorsese. I have been a fan of "Infernal Affairs" since I first saw it 4 years ago. I have always been a fan of Asian films such as "Friend" and "Shiri" and when I went to see "The Departed" I was not aware this was a remake. After the first 30 minutes, I realized what it was. The cast put together was most superb and the acting had me entrhalled. I noted that many of the emotions in the movie held true, yet many of the subtleties did not. I must admit, knowing what was going to happen, other than the end, did not hold me in suspense. Watching the cast pull the movie off did. DiCaprio has had his best role yet. Better than "Catch Me If You Can." SEE THIS MOVIE. BUT SEE THE ORIGINAL TOO. Both stand on their own as excellent movies. Now to remake "FRIEND"
