#72: The Departed [2006]
Why do they keep doing this? It’s not really that bad for a remake, but it’s basically the same film, only with more drama, smaller teaspoons and about 50% more minutes. What’s the point? Except for being patronizing and insulting to the audience, it has nothing on the original.
What is the point!?
