| The Departed
Even without having seen the original three movies (Hong Kong's Infernal Affairs trilogy), I'm guessing it was probably very true to the originals. I know the feel of a Hong Kong crime movie, and this was chock full of it. I still say Tony Leung Chiu-Wai is a better actor than Leonardo DiCapprio, but Leo put up an Oscar-worthy performance (ironically, it was his other movie Blood Diamonds that got the best actor nod he deserved for this film, if I remember right). |
