Rating: 1/10 (13 April 2007)

Very good movie, but the applause for Martin Scorsese is misplaced. This movie was made 4 years before in Hong Kong with a different name: Mou gaan dou (English title: Infernal Affairs). Actually most if not all of the lines were taken from "Mou gaan dou" including the quote "If someone looks like they are doing something else but concentrating on you they are a cop" TAKEN DIRECTLY FROM INFERNAL AFFAIRS!!! It seems like all Scorsese did was put big names such as DiCaprio, Damon and Nicholson to grab more attention. If your looking for the roots of "Scorsese's genius" then pick up Infernal Affairs if you ever see it at your local Blockbuster or Hollywood video. The original doesn't disappoint I promise!
