The Departed
misc
The Departed = Infernal Affairs
Any major differences between the two?
Not really. The characters and storyline were pretty much identical. The Departed was more comical and had jokes that I actually get haha even though they overused the F word. Regardless, the movie wasn’t bad. The American remake was well adapted to the original. If I didn’t watch Infernal Affairs, I’d like it more and be more intrigued. Everything was pretty much predictable. I wish they had changed the ending a bit. The Departed was longer but it had a fairly steady pace. Excellence cast though, Leonardo DiCaprio - Tony Leung and Matt Damon - Andy Lau. I love Leonardo’s character; I was very impressed haha. The actions were pretty good. I just like Infernal Affairs more because of Andy Lau & Tony Leung xD.
8/10 -I highly recommend it for those who haven’t seen Infernal Affairs.
Wow there’s been lots of american remakes of asian movies lately. Pretty cool, although I heard that the remake (The Lakehouse) for the korean movie Il Mare wasn’t all too impressive.
I’ll get back to you on the banner later k? :]
