u should see the original HK film

Rating: 6/10 (22 January 2007)

All credits The Departed get should belong to the original writer, because The Departed failed. They were unable to make a different American story of all ideas indicated in the original film. If you don't believe me, and if you have the ball to face criticism go get a copy of the original HK film, then give it a score. I bet you will feel sick of that performance from Martin Scorsese at Golden Globe. Putting the performance of DiCaprio and Matt Damon aside first, the story goes just to fast. Maybe Scorsese wanted to make "a comparative view", but it just didn't work. There are two "departed" characters in the story, they coexist in the same world, and Scorsese failed to achieve that.
