The departed

Martin Scorsese's re-imagining of the Chinese thriller Infernal Affairs follows two Boston police officers (Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio), one of whom is a member of the Irish Mafia who has infiltrated the ranks of the police, and the other is a bona fide cop sent on an undercover mission to join the Irish Mafia. Jack Nicholson stars as the mob boss.

“This reworking of a popular Hong Kong picture pulses with energy, tangy dialogue and crackling performances from a fine cast.” (Variety)

“A new American crime classic.” (Rolling Stone)
