For all people who have seen the original, they've told me this movie was pretty pale in comparison.

I have to agree that the Hong Kong original (Infernal Affairs) is a much much superior film. If you've seen the original, this feels like a shoddy substandard rip-off with clumsier movement and ending.

I suppose there is a degree of loyalty to the original but I've been told by many people that the Departed is crap in comparison and they even fell asleep in it.
