Nothing compared to the Hong Kong original!

Rating: 1/10 (9 October 2006)

Trust me! Once you see the Hong Kong original, you would find out that Scorsese ruined this terrific play!
The original title in Chinese was "Wu-chien-dao", which in Buhdism it means the bottom level of the hell. In this hell, people are doomed for eternity and suffer forever. And in the original, Costigan killed the other guy Costello sent into the force and the movie ends. Costigan has to bear the quilt and live on! This is what the script wants to show! Living but with the quilt is THE true hell after all! The new ending totally ruined the essence of the script underneath.
What a waste!
