The Departed a knock off

Rating: 1/10 (31 January 2007)

The Departed is a complete knock off (of Infernal Affairs) with a couple of twists and rearrangements of events but none the less a knock off. The only thing that was at least decent about this movie was that the ending did the undercover cop justice and no not even the rat that crawled across the balcony rail signifying a rat cop made this movie better. For those that have watched Infernal Affairs don't watch The Departed. Unless of course you want to see how much it sucked in comparison. I have never watched a Martin Scorsese movie before but I heard he was a really good director but for him to do this movie tells me that he should not be in the film industry any longer. What really winds me up is that they made more than a hundred mil off of someone else's idea.
