I'll Keep it short for now - excellent!

Rating: 10/10 (7 October 2006)

I will start by saying what a massive fan I am of foreign cinema - I love the original trilogy - Infernal Affairs. When I first head that a remake was being made I instantly took a harsh stand against it - thinking how could they destroy such a masterpiece of a film (hence what will happen with the Oldboy remake). I watched this last night - had high hopes - excellent cast, excellent director.
The film ultimately was amazing for me - yes the script is very much based on the Infernal Affairs (hence it being a remake). But I can't help but feel that Scorscese really has made this shine.
Another huge surprise for me was Leonardo Di Caprio - thoughts about his role before watching the film I felt I was going to be very disappointed. But I really do feel he deserves an Oscar for this.
Watch it you will not be disappointed - especially if you are a fan of the original trilogy.
Glad it kept it's "18 / NC-17" certificate Utterly Adult humour, violence and story in every sense of the word!!
Definite 10/10 for me.
