Review of The Departed (2006) by Matthew F. J — 21 Nov 2014
Saw that one in France at the movies with my friend Emilie. Great film, excellent direction from Martin Scorsese (can the man do a bad film?).
Good scenario, based on the original film "Infernal Affairs" by Andrew Lau. This new take on the story manages to be original while respecting he great lines and the structure that made the original film such a great entertaining piece. This American version is flamboyant, raw, gripping and its casting and it's beyond irreproachable. Scorsese managed to appropriate himself this story and turn it into one of his best film ever. Not the typical gangster flick but for sure one that rise easily above the lot.
