A Good Adaptation of the HK original

Rating: 8/10 (25 May 2018)

As this has been adapted from the Cantonese version, naturally I had some idea about the plot. I must say, Martin Scorsese is a real master in owning a story which may not be his originally but he owns it by turning the story as relatable as possible to the layman on the street. Leo 's performance is alright but to me, Mark Wahlberg and Martin Sheen have done a far effective job. Jack Nicholson for some reason, always shines - in here , as a psychotic mob boss . Matt Damon is commendable as a two-faced state police. For the untwisting of the twisted, it is recommendable to watch this again on Netfix or Amazon ( if like me you had the unfortunate noise of the cinema crowd who are most likely Leo cheerleaders )
