Hollywood Version of Infernal Affairs (HK) 

Stars   :  Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, Mark Wahlberg

Score  :  7.8 / 10

 

This is my first time I watched The Departed and the main reason is Leonardo DiCaprio. I am a fan of Leonardo DiCaprio. But without my realized, I have watched this movie before, but its Hong Kong version, titled Infernal Affairs. Infernal Affairs was released in 2002 and of course I have forgotten the story, because it was very long. I only remember the main story and the two big names in the film, Andy Lau and Tony Leung. Infernal Affairs also has a prequel, Infernal Affairs II and a sequel, Infernal Affairs III. On this review I will share The Departed. The story is about two people who have different backgrounds but have the same ideals to become a cop.
