"Infernal Affairs" outclasses "The Departed"

Rating: 6/10 (14 October 2006)

I have been telling people (in this website and others) that don't compare "The Departed" with "Infernal Affairs", treat it as a new movie to watch.
I watched it yesterday, disappointed... and also realized that you can't avoid comparing these 2 films if you have seen both.
William Monahan was paid to rewrite the script, so he had to change it to show that he did some work, he did create something new... but ended up that he has removed some of the best scenes, best dialogs, best role from the original.
The movie master Martin Scorsese, did the same thing, tried to tell the story in his own style, to prove that he doesn't need to follow others... ended up he over used a lot of blood, bullets and bad language.
I bet most of the people who give high rating to this film have not seen "Infernal Affairs". If you are a big fan of Martin Scorsese, I advice you not to watch "Infernal Affairs".
I swear, I'm not biased.
