Terrible Film, simply awful

Rating: 3/10 (7 March 2007)

I have seen Infernal Affairs(the original) and the Departed is really terrible in comparison. The scene for example where Damon's character pretends to be a lawyer was MUCH better acted by Andy Lau in IA. Jack Nicholson character was over the top and annoying. IMO, Jack comes off as a low class, dirty, scumbag than a "mademan" mafioso top dog. The scene with Nicholson holding the severed hand in front of Dicaprio was just an stupid scene all together. Mark Wahlberg?? What was the point of his character? All he seems to do was act like a hoodlum and curse when he is speaking. I was very impressed with the storyline, the acting, and subtlety scenes in IA, but TD just left me uninterested in the story all together and this is the SAME FILM!! THE Departed is a terrible film with bad acting, by Hollywood A-list actors. Sorry, but I didn't buy the plot, the acting, the emotions in TD. But then again what do you expect, its a Hollywood knock-off of an original. I couldn't finsh the film that was how terrible it was.
