Andy Lau rates ‘The Departed’
From the Associated Press
On a scale of 1 to 10, Andy Lau gives “The Departed” -- an Americanized version of one of his movies -- an 8.
The new Martin Scorsese film starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon and Jack Nicholson was inspired by the 2002 Hong Kong crime thriller “Infernal Affairs,” which features Lau and Tony Leung.
Lau spokeswoman Alice Tam said he didn’t give the new film higher marks because he disliked the amount of foul language and the fact that it has only one main female character.
