An easy plagiarism

Rating: 1/10 (29 December 2007)

I don't understand how Martin Scorsese can be acclaimed for this movie while its an easy plagiarism of Siu Fai Mak movie "Mou Gan Dou" (Infernal Affairs". This movie is, scene by scene, an American copy of the original one which you must see before giving any opinion on Scorsese's "Departed". If Martin Scorsese is a great director, it is certainly not thanks to "The Departed", for the simple reason that he didn't have to be creative at all. He just had to find some American actors and translate the original script with his words. The scenes are very precisely the same as in the original one ; He may be better than those who have tried to remake terrific movies like Rear Window, which ended to be Terrible ; still, The Departed remains a remake and must be seen as one.
