The Departed - Infernal Affairs - Spoiler Alert!

More that I had no desire on a Sunday evening, to get into pointless to and fro with a shouty prick from the internet, tbh.

I'm afraid you mistake me for someone who gives a flying fuck what you think, butchers

There was no shouty - there was some discussion about some films. You had nothing to say.

I enjoyed the Departed far more than Infernal Affairs, though in the defence of IA, I watched in on a very small telly from quite far away and thus did struggle with catching all of the subtitles.

I prefer IA, but maybe it's because I saw it before The Departed.

Anything staring Tony Leung is pretty good imo.

A dangerous thing to say about any actor in the HK industry!

The HK original pays off, it's tense and excitiing and the characters matter.

Lau and Leung out perform Damon and Dicaprio by a long shot, and Anthony Wong and Eric Tsang are more rounded characters in the roles later taken by Sheen and Nicholson.

Yeah, I really didn't feel a thing for the US guys but you really felt the pain of the HK cops predicament in IA

Tony Leung does good angst.
