Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe go FCUK yourself.

The first time I watched "The Departed", it was because a friend told me that it was the best ensemble cast and the most original story that he had ever seen. After watching the film, I did agree that it was a terrific cast but it did remind me of a film called "infernal Affairs". I honestly do think that "The Departed" is a great remake of a solid Hong Kong film, but I will say that I do get bothered when people tell me that it is a movie based on Whitey Bulger. Jack's character could possibly be a reflection of Whitey, but the story came from "Infernal Affairs" most definitely. "Black Mass" is a movie based on Whitey. "The Departed" is great fiction with elements taken from reality. Also, I would like to point out that even though all the performances were beyond amazing. I thought Mark Wahlberg's performance, as small as it may have been, was one of my favorite characters from "The Departed".
