The Departed (2006)
Based on the Chinese-linguage Hong Kong gangster film of the same name ("Wu jian dao"), "Infernal Affairs" will be reset in Boston amid Irish-American mobsters and the cops who are their nemeses. The film was written by William Monahan. Damon would play a gangster who has infiltrated the Boston police department as part of its cadet class and has been steadily rising through the ranks.

I should have known better. I really, really should have known better.
You see, I'm not a big Scorsese fan. I can see the brilliance of the social statement behind TAXI DRIVER and maintain that I do consider that to be a hallmark in the history of cinema. But when the man starts getting obsessed with the mob... he can...

The two moles try to find out each other's identities, resulting in violence and bloodshed. This action-packed crime drama will keep you pinned to...

Not enough Cheering...
I initially was under the impression that if Jack Nicholson's character was not a cheerleader he at least cheerleading stock in him, as evidenced by his suave demeanor and snappy fashion sence. As it turned out he was a murderer and mafia don, my mistake.
Good acting, Good directing and a thought...
