Pretty good

Rating: 7/10 (10 January 2007)

Pretty good Martin Scorsese film. Previous to watching this I had seen the original film that it is based on: Infernal Affairs "Mou gaan dou" and although it stayed pretty true the original I still prefer the Chinese version of this movie-base.
But all and all The Departed is a good movie that everyone should go and see - but... try your hardest to catch up with the original to see where it has come from.
It is nice to see a good cast working together as there are a lot of a big name actors and good small time character actors as well. And for anyone from New England it is especially nice to see the local aspects of it. I live just outside of Providence, RI and the movie takes place in Boston and it was good seeing things that I recognized.
