The Departed vs WuJianDao

'The Departed' is based off on the Hong Kong movie 'WuJianDao'. I would say it is a ok movie but nothing extraordinary, not a master-piece, not a classic unlike the origin.

The scene, when Mark Wahlberg cites all of DiCaprio's family connection to the mob, takes too much time. They take a long time establishing how DiCaprio sells drugs with his cousin and finally get into Nicholson's gang. However after that it doesn't take long for Nicholson to give his total trust... quite duh! That was too fast!

Matt Damon is not as charming and cool as Andy Lau in his character.

Some scenes have a lot more impact in Infernal Affairs which are some of the most important in the story:

-The death of Wong/Queenan: in Infernal Affairs, Wong falls suddenly, lands on a taxi cab taking Yan by surprise. When Yan realizes Wong is dead you can feel the suffering Yan goes through by the loss of the only person who knows he's a cop but also/mainly by the loss of his friend. But in The Departed, we see Sheen falls in slow-mo until he hits the ground in a splash of blood. There's absolutely no connection, no friendship between DiCaprio and Sheen. We see DiCaprio almost on the verge of crying. But the impart is not as great as the one in Infernal Affairs

-Felt that the last part was in a mess, in The Departed, the black guy shows up, the 2nd mole shows up and everybody executes everybody. They just stand there to get shot. The scene seems really rushed unlike what happened in Infernal Affairs. Finally, was it really necessary to kill Damon and provide the audience with a happy ending?

I felt a lot more satisfied with Infernal Affairs. They have very different feel to them.
