The Take
Os Infiltrados is worth watching. Scorsese keeps the rat-maze tension sharp while adding moral weight that the original lacked.
Boston's undercover double-crosses feel like tragedy, not spectacle.
The Verdict
Os Infiltrados lands as a lean, paranoid remake that respects its source while adding Scorsese's signature grit. The double-agent game stays gripping without turning into empty action.
Watch Infernal Affairs next if you want the tighter original.
