Why cast these two clowns as the leads?

Rating: 1/10 (5 October 2006)

This film is a duplicate of the Chinese film Infernal Affairs.
Infernal Affairs is one of the finest films i've ever seen and by casting the clown DiCaprio its an insult. The lead role of Sam cannot be replicated by Nicholson and the fact they changed the name from Infernal Affairs to The Departed is shocking.
The basic story is there is a rat working for the triads in a high ranking police position and there is police man undercover is the triads. The two know each others moves but don't know who each other are which makes the film extremely tense and this makes it a superb movie.
Also the outfits and characteristics of the original have not been carried over.Basically this is a Hollywood SHAM and although I respect Scorsese as a director, the movie is not good thanks to him, its good thanks to the original.
Watch the original Infernal Affairs. It will be one of the best things you ever see.
