Episode 10-The Departed

Episode 10-THE DEPARTED (2006)

What has poor Martin Scorsese done to annoy the Punching Up team?
Our series hasn’t been going that long and this is the third time around for America’s greatest living director.
It’s beginning to look like a lot like bullying.
This time it’s the turn of The Departed, Scorsese’s Boston-based Irish-American remake of the Hong Kong thriller Infernal Affairs starring Leonardo Di Caprio, Matt Damon and Jack Nicholson.
Damian doesn’t like remakes and dislikes The Departed.
Adam doesn’t like remakes but really likes The Departed. Damian doesn’t like remakes but likes Scorsese’s remake of Cape Fear.
Adam doesn’t like Cape Fear but loves Juliette Lewis.
But at least there’s one thing they can both agree on, neither Adam nor Damian like Ray Winstone’s ropey America accent in The Departed.   

Enjoy the carnage.
