I can't believe so many people buy this

Rating: Null/10 (9 October 2006)

Whoever seen the original HK version "Internal Affair" years ago should know this is at best a mediocre knockoff. Better than "Good Fellas"? Not a slightly chance. "Good Fellas" is original at least.
I don't blame people who never realize there's an original version. For those who did, I tell you this movie is copying down to every details, I mean EVERY DETAILS. And for whatever they didn't copy over, they're making big mistakes. Shouldn't be so easy to make a film.
I personally heard people laughed out loud in theater. The ones you thought are the main characters should never die, but in this story they go down dramatically, that's kind of shock and the beauty of it, only in the original version though. This remake or should I say knockoff one just go on rampage without any setups, this is not supposed to be one of those "Texas Chainsaw..." movies.
Big cast, great director, ends up a total disappointment, the saddest part is, beloved folks here and TV critics and elsewhere had blindly promoted it to such a high place, where only those ever-lasting master pieces like "Good Fellas", "Godfather" and "Shawshank Redemption" should reside.
Don't argue before you check out the original. Or if you'd prefer to live in lies and illusions, don't care about truth, or worst don't even want to listen to truth, then please ignore this post.
By the way, I am a big fan of gangster movie and USED TO be a big fan of Martin Scoresesis. I think Leonardo DiCaprio is doing alone pretty good in this film but him alone can't save the game.
