I watched The Departed and Infernal Affairs in a session just yesterday but still cannot decide whether one is better than the other. What I love more about Scorsese´s vision is that the movie is set in a kind of undetermined period of time, it has classic all written over it, while I feel that Infernal Affairs won´t age as well. On the other hand IA had the thriller scenes better solved (how could they let go the morse code stuff on the american version). Both are very local: Boston and Hong Kong, which is something I loved about both.

What´s your view? Any help?

I still need to see Infernal Affairs.
I love The Departed so I'm looking forward to seeing where it came from.

Youre gonna get shocked by how similar some parts of the plot are. IA is pretty easy to be found as bitorrent on the pirate bay (I use it as the last resource for movies but this film in particular was simply impossible to be found here where I live) and still have it on my Transmission menu. Highly recommended.

I don't know about Internal Affairs but I saw THe Departed the other day..what a great movie..with a surprise ending.

I like infernal affairs better but The departed is a good film.

Infernal Affairs, I have the trilogy in a nice little box set of its own... Departed is nice and all. But I prefer Infernal Affairs.
