It's an almost exact rip off. Embarrassing how they sold the narrative it's based on some cunt from boston yada yada yada. The one in HK wasn't, and it's the same fucken movie.Infernal Affairs never gets talked about. Absolutely love that movie, if it wasnt like fourty quid on blueray I would buy it.
Scorsese won an oscar for a movie he ripped off.
The HK cinema version was better. Mostly because it was original.
I watched the departed all excited because it was so highly aclaimed... then after 3 minutes I was like, the fuck? I seen this before! Googled if it was a rip off... yep!
Saying that people said that dredd was a rip off of the raid. But I don't think so. Similarities for sure but if you guys wanna see a rip off watch internal affairs and the departed.
