YesAsia Editorial Description

Bringing triumph to director Martin Scorsese at the prestigious Golden Globe Awards, The Departed also received nominations at various film festivals including the most sought-after Oscars. A remake of the Hong Kong blockbuster Infernal Affairs by Andrew Lau and Alan Mak, The Departed stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon who take up Tony Leung's and Andy Lau's characters from the Hong Kong version. The film moves the setting to South Boston where the Massachusetts State Police Department is sparing no effort in combating the city's crime syndicate.

Billy Costigan (Leonardo DiCaprio) is assigned to infiltrate the mob run by the mafia boss Costello (Jack Nicholson). But while Billy is gaining Costello's trust, Costello has planted young cop Colin Sullivan (Matt Damon) in the police force, and Sullivan successfully advances to join the Special Investigations Unit. Sullivan keeps Costello informed of every step the law enforcers are going to make, but Costello also realizes that the mob's plans have somehow reached the police. Soon both sides notice the existence of moles, and decide to purge the traitors...

Directors: Martin Scorsese

Years ago, a powerful Irish mafia figure placed a small selection of his youngest, brightest men into the Massachusetts Police Academy as cadets. Their purpose is to eventually rise within the prestigious ranks of the city's police department, to serve as the eyes and ears of their boss. While somewhere else, a young cadet was assigned with an equally dangerous task: infiltrate the Irish syndicate headed by the man sending in his own to the Boston Police. Now, one cadet is an up and coming police official with a torn allegiance to his job and to the criminal mastermind that put him there. While the other cadet is the trusted number two of that man, only finding his professional duties are becoming blurred with his current state. But new clues have lead to unfortunate discoveries, when both sides realize they're being watched by the enemy. It's now all just a matter of time before the men assigned to find out whose the infiltrator, could come to a bloody end when someone's identity may be revealed.

i'd prefer the cantonese one Customer Review Rated Bad 7 - 7 out of 10
i was quite excited seeing how hollywood is actually adapting a cantonese movie plotline..which shows hk industry can make great movies

and i thought the hollywood verison would be as exciting as the cantonese verison..but i set my expectations too high

i find this movie to be very lengthy..two and a half hours..the first 30-45 minutes were very slow and boring..i was nodding off cause they wanted to build up the storyline..it didn't work for me..i found it quite unnecessary to go through so much to let the audience know what's going on..they should've cut back on some scenes

it got a bit exciting in the middle..but i didn't find the ending to be too great..if you watched the cantonese verison you know the ending already..the hollywood verison does follow the cantonese verison..but they show everything within a minute or two..seems like a bit of a rush..bam bam bam..this guy dies and that guy dies..the director could've made that part a bit longer..to build up the suspense and make it more exciting

leonardo's acting abilities were fantastic in this movie..throughout the entire movie..he was full of passion and emotion..wonderful performance

i also find how the female lead character was a combination of sammi cheng + kelly chen's character..it added more drama..which was kinda interesting

the setting of the hollywood verison was very americanized..which i find it to be a really well made adaptation

overall..this movie wasn't as great as i thought it would be..i believe there's a sequel to this..not sure if it'll be adapting to the infernal affairs 3 plotline..but hopefully if there is a next one..it would be a lot better
