Someone departed from the original

Rating: 5/10 (10 October 2006)

I am a big fan of the original(The Infernal affair). I am so disappointed to see that "The departed"is really departed from the original. The Screenplay writer only read the script and never watched the original. They waste a lot of money to buy the story! The original is much more intense and emotional. I see nothing in this one. I feel nothing to be honest. I think you need to feel something even you are not from Boston. What kind of crime sense they put up? "Micro processor"? Give me a break! And the Cantonese in the movie make me sick! There will have a lot of Cantonese speaking audience know authentic Cantonese. Don't just find so America born Chinese to fool around. Don't be that cheap to pay fly some 2-3 lines Cantonese actors to do the role. The origin is use moose code to send message and use laptop computer to send message not cheaply cellular phone. No skill at all. The reason why Matt need to kill Nickleson is somewhat made up. I don't know why people praise Diclapio's acting. Please check out Tony Leung's emotional but no freaking out. I cannot add more to express my disappointment.
