A disappointment

Rating: 1/10 (12 May 2007)

An absolute disappointment of the remake of the Hong Kong version. It totally lost the spirit of the original version and poor acting from both Damon and Dicaprio. No surprise from Nicholson either. It was a real surprise that this movie could have won so many Oscars, especially Best Director for Martin Scorsess. It just shows how pathetic the Oscar Committee is. I would strongly recommend anyone who really like this move to watch the Trilogy Version from Hong Kong. Much better acting from Andy Lau and Tony Leung with tension throughout the whole movie and full of surprises. Perhaps Martin Scorsess should never have adapted this movie from Hong Kong... a huge cultural difference.
