Awful

Rating: 3/10 (19 October 2006)

If you have seen the original this film is awful in comparison. Read any of the reviews by people that have seen it. The average rating among them is probably 4/5, not 8.6. Its a shame more people haven't seen the original.
To quickly sum up:
1) The characters are weak compared to the original (apart from Sam) 2) Infernal Affairs (the Original) is like Heat but shorter. This is a poor remake - just like all the Hollywood remakes have been
Infernal Affairs is miles better - and this is from someone that hardly ever watches foreign movies (because I can't be bothered reading subtitles) :)
