DEPARTED Gets Butchered Before Hitting Kuwaiti Screens

Trust me, you don't want to see a Martin Scorcese movie in a Kuwaiti theatre. More embarrasing news, courtesy of The Ministry of Information via Contact Music:

"MARTIN SCORSESE's hit new film THE DEPARTED went through 21 cuts in Kuwait before film censors there agreed to release the film".

I've said this before and I will say this again: Kuwait needs a Rating system. Cut the sex, that's fine, but leave the language and violence and rate it "18" but don't butcher the film. Not all films are meant to be seen by both 5 year olds and adults.

By the way, I saw THE DEPARTED - uncut - and it is excellent, among Martin Scorcese 's best films.

It is a good movie, and there is nothing wrong with IT.
The Min. Of INFO. needs to grow up.
