A Classic Chinese Remake

Rating: 9/10 (23 January 2007)

This is by far one of the best adaptations I have seen in a movie. The movie The Departed is, in essence, a translated movie with American actors. It was adapted from a Chinese movie about the mafia with around the same storyline. This movie is full of twists and turns as you switch between the views of the two moles. It is a must-watch, but be warned that you may want to think twice about letting children see it due to its profanity and violence. The movie will literally keep you on the edge of your seat as you see how innovative some of the film's ideas are. I would definitely recommend it and watch it a second time. There is not one dull moment in the movie and while, at first, it may seem hard to understand, bear with it, for everything clicks into place later on in the movie.
