Review: Martin Scorsese whose almost all other work won Academy Awards Directed such a movie that tells a tale which is very common in the film industry. Now to separate “The Departed’’ all those other film you have to give attention to some subtlety. This movie with a direct adaptive script from "Infernal Affairs" a Hong Kong film compared to it has a design that is rather unique than the original one . Having a rather large pool of familiar great actors like Jack Nicholson, Leonardo DiCaprio , Matt Damon and others having worked on more than three films Which Won or was nominated for Oscars or won themselves. Nicholson famous for his astounding acting in The Shining delivered some great lines that will inspire all ambitious directors to put similar characters when making movies in this respective genre.
Now to talk about the young-lings compared to Nicholson, Leonardo DiCaprio hands down acted so good if the character was alive and real would become confused if this was the story of his life or DiCaprio's own. He does this to all the other characters he played like the Smuggler in Blood diamond or The Pilot in The Aviator. He put some levels in acting that is hard to cross even by Matt Damon who is also in the film with similar skill set. But it is proven that Scorsese takes all acting juice out from those actors when working with them.

Now to come to the technical parts William Monahan famous for “Body of Lies” and the respective movie created a mesh that was more beautiful than the original movie. His well packed movie lines made viewers believe that they were enjoying an original internal war between a police department and a large mob gang.
So if one asked or was to be suggested to watch any critique wouldn't fear of getting shouted at and boldly suggest this one. And the same follows for me. Those of you who watch movies with certain enthusiasm and passion I would suggest this movie. Though I would have a hard time finding those who already haven't watch this. But I do boldly.
