The Departed (Hollywood remake of Infernal Affairs)
-
Coming soon in 2006.
Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Mark Wahlberg and Jack Nicholson.
Directed by Martin Scorsese.
Synopsis
Years ago, a powerful Irish mafia figure placed a small selection of his youngest, brightest men into the Massachusetts Police Academy as cadets. Their purpose is to eventually rise within the prestigious ranks of the city's police department, to serve as the eyes and ears of their boss.
On the other hand, young undercover cop Billy Costigan (Leonardo DiCaprio) is assigned to infiltrate the mob syndicate run by gangland chief Costello (Jack Nicholson).
While Billy is quickly gaining CostelloÂ’s confidence, Colin Sullivan (Matt Damon), a hardened young criminal who has infiltrated the police department as an informer for the syndicate, is rising to a position of power in the Special Investigation Unit.
Each man becomes deeply consumed by his double life, gathering information about the plans and counter-plans of the operations he has penetrated. But when it becomes clear to both the gangsters and the police that there’s a mole in their midst, Billy and Colin are suddenly in danger of being caught and exposed to the enemy – and each must race to uncover the identity of the other man in time to save himself. -

The storyline is fantastic.
The person who came up with it deserves a lot of credit! -
yup, must have thought about it for a long time, to come up with the sophisticated yet highly appealing plot.
Kudos to the HKers?

the bad guy wants to be a good guy. the good guy is tired of being the bad guy. the bad guy kills the bad guys so that he can be a good guy. the good guy finds out that the supposedly good guy is actually a bad guy. the bad guy will stop at nothing to become a good guy, even if it means killing the good guy.Originally posted by RSP:The storyline is fantastic.
