Hollywood's Infernal Affairs

The Departed

"The Departed" is Martin Scorsese's take on the Hong Kong production Infernal Affairs.
The Hollywood version has Matt Damon and Leonardo DaVinci DiCaprio reprising the roles of Hong Kong's Andy Lau and Tony Leung. Jack Nicholson plays Eric Tsang while Martin Sheen plays Anthony Wong. The cast sounded good! They should include a bald Chow Yunn Fatt as one of the villains too!

Synopsis:
Undercover cop Billy Costigan (Leonardo DiCaprio) is assigned to bust the syndicate run by mob boss Costello (Jack Nicholson). Colin Sullivan (Matt Damon) is a criminal who has infiltrated the police department as an informer. When the two are in danger of being exposed, each must race to uncover the identity of the other man in time to save himself.

Tagline:
Loyalty is a Lie.
