Me too. I'm a little worried that Leo wont be able to pull it off, but even if thats true, the rest of the cast will make up for him.

At least he has Marky Mark to make him look good.


should be a good movie.

I haven't been to the movies in nearly 2 years, and even I'll go see this.

I'm definetly looking forward to it as its a remake of one of my favorite films( Infernal Affairs). I have no doubt that I will be happy with the end result

Infernal Affairs is awesome. this almost certainly will be as well. the only thing that sucks is the earliest show at the movie theatre I go to is 1145

The movie was awesome. Good acting, good story line, good everything. Leo pulled it off well. Damon seemed to play a good "slime ball" character. Nicholson is just Nicholson. *thumbs up*

yea, this is my take too. I think that I need to see it again because I was comparing it way too much to IA when watching it, and while its a remake, there are some significant differences between them. THough all of the key plot points are there

Internal Affairs? I think I know what I am watching tonight. Thanks fellas. And I don't think it will be as good as The Departed, but I will see.

well, one thing to remember about IA is that its actually a three part series, but, the departed was a remake of IA. IA is already a legendary Hong Kong film, and it was only released like 4 or 5 years ago

hmmm I'll have to check it out....

Also, Leo is a fine actor... just because an actor is super famous, doesn't mean he's an Affleck. He's a great actor who makes great choices in roles/dirrectors to work with.

The one with Gere and Baldwin right? That is the one to watch right? It's a 3 part series!?

how do you get Gere and Baldwin from me pointing out that its from Hong Kong? No, it has Andy Lau(from house of flying daggers) and Tony Leung(from hero and in the mood for love) in the roles that Damon and Leo played respectively. Nicholson did a much better job then Eric Tsang, which was just to be expected as Nicholson is one of the greatest actors of all time


edit: I just noticed that you thought it was internal affairs. No, its called Infernal affairs

LMAO! Oh INFERNAL AFFAIRS

I typed in internal affairs, saw something about a "cop" in the description and thought that was it, lol.

JMoney it actually is Infernal Affairs not internal. It's a play on the infernal nature of the situation both characters are in.

somehow when I first watched them a few years ago my friends let me watch 2 then 1 then 3. for those not in the know, 2 is a prequel. And, in my opinon 2 is on par (if not better!) than the original.

I'd need to watch departed again but I think I like Frank Costello as the villain better than Sam . Sam is more comedic (although I think the actor usually plays comedic roles?) than Frank.

As usual Alec Baldwin was good. Everytime I see this guy he gets more respect from me.

Well no one could play the Frank Costello character any better than Nicholson. So there are 3 parts to Infernal Affair? Geeze, can I rent them at a block buster or am I screwed?
