Synopsis

Martin Scorsese's highly commercial remake of the Hong Kong hit Infernal Affairs garnered a larger box-office draw and possibly more critical praise upon its release than any of his other films. He did, after all, jam it full of A-listers: Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, Martin Sheen, Mark Wahlberg, and Alec Baldwin. The director''s return to the grim, foul-mouthed mafia terrain of Goodfellas and Casino didn''t hurt either. And then there''s this plot about two moles racing to uncover one another--Leo''s an undercover cop acting the part of an Irish mobster, Damon'' s a mob informant who infiltrated the police--which had already proved successful in the original Hong Kong film, now a franchise. In the end, Mart y gave audiences his ultraviolent best with The Departed and renewed hi s Hollywood clout by doing so, paving the way for a new batch of Scorsese Martin Scorsese---USA---2006---151 mins.
