Thanks. While the Departed was pretty good, I liked the HK version better. In short, The Departed: Story - derivative. Execution - good.

In particular, I thought that the difference between the mob bosses was pretty telling. Nicholson was over the top and not very believable imho. Eric Tsang otoh was chilling but likable and totally into the role. Interesting because he is primarily a comedy actor.
Now rent Infernal Affairs 2. You get the backstory of how things got to where they were in the first one. Really well done and you appreciate the first one even more with some of the characters more fleshed out. But whatever you do DO NOT rent Infernal Affairs 3. They screwed the pooch on that one.
