Saw the trailer for this new Martin Scorsese film “The Departed” the other day. Its a remake of a Hong Kong film Internal Affairs, part of a trilogy of acclaimed thrillers.
Leonard Dicaprio plays an undercover state cop infiltrating the Irish Mob in Boston, led by Jack Nicholson; who is stepping away from comedy for the first time in over a decade(with the exception of “The Pledge” which was terrible). Meanwhile, Matt Damon is a mob ally within the police force, keeping the criminals safe. Also featured are Martin Sheen, Marky Mark Wahlberg, and Alec Baldwin: The Greatest Actor Of All Time.
Scorsese is noted for his crime movies, I’m going to personally look forward to this movie a great deal.
