I miss the great pride deeply inside DiCaprio's character

Rating: 9/10 (11 November 2006)

The only serious complain I have may be that in the original Hong Kong version, there was a high sense of honor and great pride deeply inside DiCaprio's character, which served as his only psychological balance when he was forced to do dirty works. Because he had been undercover for so long, his only wish, the only thing kept him going, was the promise that someday he will be a regular policeman and will be able to shout to bad guys: Police! That was also the reason he joined the police academy. I think this is essential to make the character believable. A minor complain is that Damon's character should have some sense of guilty. After all, before he was promoted so that he would be truly useful, he only worked as a policeman as others. Not all his work could be in conflict with his dirty interests. He should have some internal struggle for quite a while that he would be at least less willing when he leaked the critical info.
