Title: The Departed
Post by: iPPi on Friday, October 06, 2006, 07:09:47 PM
Anybody going to see this?

I am likely going to see it tomorrow.  In case you guys don't know, this is the American remake of the Hong Kong hit, Infernal Affairs.

I saw it today. Best film of the year. It's pure genius, definitely Scorsese's best since Goodfellas. It is so tight, so deep and completely entertaining that it pretty much blew me away. The performances are all top notch... and of course the directing and editing is genius.

I loved it more than any movie I've seen in a couple of years.

Saw it today.  Gotta say it's one of the best films of the year, though I didn't really like the ending.  I mean, I've seen the entire trilogy of Infernal Affairs, and the ending -- the very end of the film is not true to the Asian version.

Still, very enjoyable film.

Well, I don't think its intended to be true to the HK films. Scorsese basically said they took the premise and made their own conception with it.
