I can't believe this- someone has actually gone and remade Infernal Affairs. I knew it was bound to happen... Does Hollywood's lack of originality know no limits? Is nothing sacred anymore?
Admitedlly, The Departed is pedigree stuff- Martin Scorsese at the helm, Jack Nicholson, Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon and Mark Wahlberg. But c'mon, you take one of Hong Kong's best movies in recent years and repackage it into another glossy, slick flick passing off as a psychological thriller, which then means it can no longer be a thriller since so many people have watched the original that nothing about the narrative is going to be surprising anymore.
I feel sick...
