This movie is impressed, but Hong Kong version is a lot better.

Rating: 7/10 (18 November 2006)

Hong Kong actor and singer Andy Lau comment on the new Martin Scorsese film 'The Departed' last Friday in Hong Kong. Even though he gave the movie an 8 out of 10, he didn't have a lot of good things to say about the Hollywood movie.
'The Departed' was adapted from Lau's crime thriller 'Infernal Affairs', which topped Hong Kong box office records in 2002. Lau said that the Americanized version has too much foul language and not enough female character. He even compared himself with Matt Damon, since both played the same role. 'I focused more on my character's psychology and made my role not such a bad guy superficially, while Damon's portrayal made the character absolutely evil! --------------------------------------------------------------------- This movie is impressed, but Hong Kong version is a lot better.
