Directed by Martin Scorsese
Written by William Monahan
IMDB
An
American remake of “Internal Affairs,” although with some very notable
changes. In “Internal Affairs,” the Leonardo DiCaprio character is
undercover for 10 years rather than just one. The line of being a cop
or criminal becomes a blur to him. In “The Departed” the line is just
beginning to blur. I don’t remember too much about “Internal Affairs,”
sadly. I think the ending is different and they don’t spend as much
time on the Matt Damon character.
Martin
Scorsese is about the only person I would have accepted a remake of
this classic film. It is wonderfully executed and changed enough to let
it stand on its own. A very good crime drama.
9/10
