The Departed

My friend and I watched The Departed by Martin Scorsese last night. Other than cold wind from the air con in the cinema of Junction 8, I have no other complaints. I had difficulty in the beginning in following at first as the characters peppered their words with many swear words and some of them spoke in thick Irish accent. After a while I got used to it and find The Departed very refreshing and interesting. Perhaps it is because I have not watched the Hong Kong version, Infernal Affairs before. I think Leonardo DiCaprio looks great in this movie – more mature and rugged and Mark Wahlberg is funny by swearing most of the time. Do expect some rather violent scenes too.
