Scorsese

Rating: 8/10 (29 November 2006)

Scorsese takes on Hong Kong movies Infernal Affairs I and II on the Departed. The result is one smooth movie, but without due credits to originals: several parts of the movie are exact copies from the originals, although Scorsese & Co. claim not even having watched the original movies.
That said it's a good movie, entertaining and everything, so if you liked Infernal Affairs you're going to enjoy this one too. The idea of combining most parts I and II from Infernal Affairs into one movie is also well chosen. It's a bit long, but on the other hand it doesn't have any extra stuff in it just to make it longer.
I'd give 9 but with all that bull from Scorsese about not copying originals this can't be more than 8.
