The Departed is an amazing film -- one that I would consider Scorcese's best. I've seen Infernal Affairs, and while it was an interesting idea, it had a lot of problems. The Departed feels like the realization of what Infernal Affairs could and should have been. The cast is amazing, and Leonardo DiCaprio's performance is especially admirable. The Departed is one of the best crime thrillers in years, and I'd highly recommend it.

Ronin is a film that feels like a throwback to older action films, such as The Day Of The Jackal (1973), but with the polish of today's movie industry. The dialog and story are a bit spotty in places, but the film makes no apologies, and more than makes up for it with a superb cast and several amazing car chases. Action movie fans shouldn't neglect this one any longer than they have to!
