The Departed

Ok, there's this movie that I wanted to watch. It is actually a remake of the Hong Kong thriller movie – Infernal Affairs, thus it is a remake version. According to the New Paper, this is the how the story goes....

It's a good cop bad cop scenerio. Set in the mean streets in South Boston, rookie cop Billy Costigan (Leonardo DiCaprio) goese undercover to infiltrate an organised crime ring. Meanwhile, Frank Costello (Jack Nicholson), the mob's powerful boss, has an inside man of his own, golden-boy detective Colin Sullivan (Matt Damon), who is firnly planted in the department's Special Investigations Unit. It doesn't take long for both sides to realise that they have moles in their midst, and from then on, Costigan and Sullivan race against time to expose each other.

I haven’t watch the Hong Kong version yet, however what make me wanna watch this US made movie is that it is directed by Martin Scorsese, one of the best directors in town. I loved watching his movies, like recently the Aviator and Gangs of New York, both of which I think is the best classic films of all times. Thus I think that this movie would be one of his best works that he directed and really really hope that he wins an Oscar for this. This man deserved it eons ago. Also, this film features some of the best thespians in Hollywood like Jack Nicholson. I watched his Oscar-winning movie “Over the cuckoo nest” which I enjoyed his acting tremendously. He played a convict trying to be mad so that he would be hospitalized instead of going to jail for his crimes. However along the way, the hospital inmates crazy antics and the psychiatric treatment caused him to doubt his sanity. Nice movie to watch which I highly recommend.
