Not as good as Infernal Affairs

Rating: 7/10 (10 October 2006)

Let me say right off the bat that I liked Scorsese's movie but it lacked something that the original had---"Heart". Infernal Affairs had heart. The movie made you really care about the Moles and the supporting cast. In Scorsese's film, Matt Damon's character is just despicable. In Infernal Affairs the same character is a conflicted man torn between loyalties and gains the audience's sympathy. In the new film you hated Matt Damon and felt nothing about supporting characters. It's really too bad. Scorsese's movie would have been better if the characters gained our sympathy like the original.....that was the purpose of the film. And what's up with Dicaprio banging the same woman as Damon? That's just flat out unrealistic and a stupid and unnecessary sub-plot.
