Internal affairs and the departed




Today I'm gonna do something a little different. I'm gonna talk about one film and then it's us remake in the same post. Let's get the big question out of the way first The Departed is the better film however neither are perfect. Also Infernal Affairs isn't 140 minutes it's like an hour and a half which is alot nicer.
Infernal Affairs is a great action movie and has Tony Leung in it and kills it in fact he's like the star he steals it Andy Lau does a great job as well. Also I like the soundtrack more in this film.
However the Departed has good performances from Nichlson, Walberg, Sheen, Damon, and Dicaprio. Nichlson is the only one who made a better character the second time around. Marky Marks character wasn't even in Infernal Affairs in fact it was just Martin Sheens character. Also and best change I think is that the therpist for Leo is the same person as Matt Damon's Girlfriend. In Infernal Affairs they are two differnt people making the reveal less shocking but here it's way better. This is a far more complicated film then the original and it's werid to like a remake more but if we can always make remakes better that would be coo.
I think both are good and both have great performances. But the stupid rat at the end of the departed really bugged me this time. like LAME seriously.
But there both great movies I say see Infernal Affairs if the running time of the departed is to much but the departed is still awesome.
