Great remake of Hong Kong's Internal Affairs

Rating: 8/10 (14 October 2006)

I was in love with the original Internal Affairs (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0338564/). I watched this movie without knowing that it was a remake. Though it started coming back to me, as I went on in the film. So it gave me a different taste from the original Chinese one. If you like this one, do not forget to watch the original, it is a very good one too. One thing I disliked about this movie was it seemed to be a bit lengthy and it could have been cut short by eliminating few scenes without spoiling the movie. The strength of this movie lies on the superb acting of Leonardo, although I think Tony Leung in the original was also very good. Matt also played an excellent opposite role in this film, which reminded me of him of Mr. Ripley's (The Talented Mr. Ripley - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0134119/). It looked like Mr. Ripley's had made it to Boston eventually.
