The Departed.

Watched Scorcese's The Departed at Planet Hollywood with Ritesh.I had seen the original version, "Infernal Affairs" sometime back, and feel that Scorcese has kept the pace of the original movie intact, though he does bow to sentimental concerns and bumps off the gangster in the end.
Jack Nicholson's character has far more screen time compared to his predecessor, but I guess if you sign up Jackie boy, you have to give him some balls to juggle. He easily dominates the movie, with his sheer charisma and overwhelming animated performance. When he's on the screen, one simply can't take one's eyes off him.
Mark Wahlberg is another revelation with his profane, tough cop role, easily one of his better preformances. If you liked the Departed, you must see the original.
