The Departed vs. Infernal Affairs! "Two films enter, one film leaves!" The tank team reviews two great films. Martin Scorsese remakes the already great Hong Kong film, but which one is better? Also, movie news and viewer mail.

The Hong Kong made film Infernal Affairs became a huge hit when it was released in 2002. The film stars Andy Lau and Tony Leung Chiu Wai. It was later released in the United States in theaters and is now available on DVD. A while back, Viktor rented the DVD and he really liked it.

The Departed is a U.S. made remake of Infernal Affairs directed by Martin Scorsese released in 2006. It has a huge cast including Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, Mark Wahlberg, Martin Sheen, and Alec Baldwin. So which film is better? Both Viktor and Tor give their impressions.
