Hollywood flops it again

Rating: 4/10 (8 October 2006)

OK this is not an original idea as we know it. It is a direct rip from the hit movie Infernal Affairs and almost certainly some parts are exactly copied over. I am very sorry to say that if you are to copy another film there isn't much to be demanded from the actors. I personally have never been a fan of re-makes if the director is not to add a new dimension to the original as it is the case of Departed. The only thing Martin seemed to add is a lot of senseless swearing and mind blowing graphical head-shots. This completely took the audience away from the core of the story, the essence of the plot. The ending is the most dire I have seen yet, it was simply distasteful. I would strongly recommend you to watch Infernal Affair 1&2, before set you eye on this Hollywood trash.
Entertaining in terms of comedy values. watch this but do not expect a thrilling ride.
