i LOVED this movie! have to agree with thread starter that this is one of the best movies to come out in the past 4-5 years. Scorcese should finally win an oscar for this but if he doesnt then fuck the academy...they already snubbed orsen wells, hitchcock, and kubrick so it really wouldnt surprise me. Also did not bother me AT ALL that this was a remake of another film....seriously is there some rule that says you cannot remake a film??? perfect example look at cape fear ******s...new film for a new generation, or in this case different film for a different audience

oh yeah if you didnt like this film go eat shit and die

Originally posted by |3 |_ @ Z 3 |) IMO DiCap actually stole the show. My biggest complaint though is that this movie IS a remake of Infernal Affairs and I have not had a change to watch the original. Suffice to say Scorcese did pull off another winner but I did not find his directing to be as effective as it usually is.. I had a hard time taking the movie really seriously... maybe that was his intention to add a little comedy to it.. nevertheless its quite a gripping story that should keep you glued to your seat until the end... until I see the original I can't call this a masterpiece whatsoever.

the original is shit compared to Scorcese's version

It was good, not spectacular, but warrants a watch. I'd say 3 stars.

I am by no means a movie critic.. This is the second movie I have seen this year...

It was a great movie.. I enjoyed it a lot (I know, I know - great review) I don't want to spoil any of it as none was for me.

I would recommend going to see this..

It was 2.5 hours but at least 20 minutes was commercials and trailers...

Funny how you enjoy things more when there is a little piece of you in the movie.. One of the bad guys last name is Fitzgibbons..

true like ky stated. i actually thought the departed was going to be structured like casino n goodfellas n have the voice over+rapid/cutting feel to it. but this is not to say that it still wasnt an awesome movie

for what it was, it was thouroughly entertaining
