Review of The Departed (2006) by Robert L — 20 Jul 2013
Quite meaty film. Got a lot of good Iconic quotes in it to be watched. But, this is in no way anywhere near as good as its original Hong Kong film. Martin Scorsese remade it in his own style by sacrificing mood, atmosphere and sometimes the emotion that made Infernal Affairs iconic.
Instead, Scorsese's style unavoidably and, as usual, Americanized it.
