Not as good as original.

Rating: 1/10 (27 December 2006)

Although this version has it's strong points. It isn't as complicated and an interesting story as Infernal Affairs. This movie did very little to match it's predecessor.
On Infernal Affairs you learn about the character's past and more of how they are one small part in a much bigger picture. In The Departed, it's mostly one step in the story to the next, characters mostly remained static, which resulted in a much less enjoyful experience. Notable performances by Mark Wahlberg and Leonardo Dicaprio.
Go see this movie, but be sure to check out Infernal Affairs. You'll notice a lot that was left out.
