It is not as good as it is

Rating: 3/10 (16 February 2007)

I gave this movie 3 score because of the performance,and it was the only reason that the Departed got its applauds. I watched the original Hong-Kong movie before so I am able to know how bad this adaptation as. The music is bad taste. The plot is not well organized. After all, I became to hate the Director who didn't give a damn to other country's people in that he took no responsibility to convey to the ordinary Americans that we Chinese were war-lovers who always wanted to throw bombs on Taiwan's land. It's bullshit! I can't believe that it's the same director who shot so many masterpieces such as Taxi driver and Goodfellas. In the end, I really recommend you Americans to take a try at the original Hong-Kong edition!
