Good movie but a Rip-off

Rating: 5/10 (4 February 2007)

Good movie but a rip-off by all means! I can't say that wasn't a good movie, I would be lying!!! Never the less though, it was a rip-off of the best police movie that was ever conceived and filmed, "Infernal Affairs"!!!!
I mean the original had much lower budget and still it was visually stunning while "The Departed" felt like a movie that was made in a hurry... The plot where in the original "Infernal Affairs" was just the most gripping film ever, here felt somehow shallow, if you had seen the original before. Honestly even the huge stars, which are really good actors with talent and real acting abilities, that played in "The Departed" weren't as half as good as the Chinese counterparts in the specific rolls.
What really gets me mad though, is that Scorsese and his crew will take the credits and the recognition that don't belong to them!!!
All the Oscars should go to the original by far!!!
If you think that I got it wrong I really urge you to watch the original and you will understand the difference simply by the impact that the characters will have on you and by the fact that visually is so much more detailed and in a much higher level.
My opinion... Give the credits to those who deserve it!!!!!!!!!!! 2002's Wai Keung Lau's "Infernal Affairs"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
