A foul language version of Internal Affair

Rating: 7/10 (22 April 2019)

My first impression is not particularly good with the word fxxxx exists in every line of the script. My disappointment further develops as I compare it with the original Internal Affair. The present one is basically a pure action film. Internal Affair is an artistic form of action film in term of cinematograhy and music used. The famous rooftop scene, the scene when the handler falling down of Internal Affair all inscript in my memory. Departed is not in par with its original.
Jack's share virtually ruin the story. He should be just a supporting role. Andy Lau and Tony Leung perhaps do not make request to appear more even though they are great names in Hong Kong.
Perhaps you will find odd but as a foreign watcher I will mix Leo with Matt sometimes. And I think in the first the round rooftop is a Muslim temple. And compare to Kelly Chen the psychologist here is simply not attractive enough.
A waste of the brilliant casting. Overrated movie.
Following the logic of Oscar, Internal Affair should at least be the Best foreign film, but not just a Japanese original.
