Internal affair or Mou gaan dou ..

Rating: 4/10 (13 November 2006)

Just watched the movie and am still bitter...Is Hollywood in dearth of Inspiration.. It cant even be called an adaptation of the 2002 hong Kong movie Internal Affair (Mou gaan dou). Its a scene by scene copy. The characters of matt damon and Leonardo in the original movie are played much better..I don't want to spoil the movie by giving out the plot (fr those who did not see the HK movie), what i think is matt and Leo's characters should have shown tremendous pressure coz of their jobs in the movie but they seemed quite casual throughout.. The HK movie was a notch ahead in the tech department too..The most high tech gadget shown was a camera cell phone..
For those who have not seen the HK movie, Departed would stand out because of the plot and thrill..but i cant rate it more than 4/10, it being a xerox..
