East Bay Express' review of The Departed. (Sorry to be so obsessed, but I can't help it.) The Onion gave it an A - I can't find the review, but it's in the printed edition.

It also looks like the cut out Sammi Cheng's role as the girlfriend of the mole in the police force, and enlarged the psychologist's role so that she's now involved with both moles. I think that's a pretty absurd and unbelievable thing to do, but who knows how it plays out in the movie.

Yeah, I didn't really like any of the females in the original, either. I thought, though, that maybe in the American remake they could have done something interesting with the female characters, and that Sammi Cheng's character had the most potential to go somewhere. I think it's lazy to just reduce all the characters down to one girl.
