The Departed (2006) is an Oscar-winning film directed by Martin Scorsese. Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio play fellows who are in a similar screwed up situation. As puppets for more powerful men, the two are pitted against one another, despite their shared misery.
I don't know about you but I love a good tragedy. To my mind, Leo is a modern-day hero of tragedy and The Departed is another great example of this man's great dramatic skills. The cast also includes other powerhouse actors like,Jack Nicholson, Mark Wahlberg, Martin Sheen and Alec Baldwin.
In 2003, Brad Pitt bought the rights to remake Infernal Affairs (2002) and was set to play one of the leads, but chose to go with someone younger, though he did stay on as a producer of the film.
The Departed is on MOMAX tonight at 9p.
