Rating: 4/10 (29 October 2006)

No,No,No,No,No,No,No,....did I miss the meeting on this one?. Did everybody get together behind my back and decide this was a great film.....before they had actually watched it?.
Lets just take a look at it.Scorsese doing a remake of an excellent Infernal Affairs.A Remake!Scorsese doing a remake!What was up with the original?Is his ego so inflated that he actually thought he could improve on the original?
Jack Nicholson being just a few lines from bursting into the Joker , "wait till they get a load of me!". Leonardo playing a shy,misunderstood loner that every girl just wants to be with...exactly like he was in Gangs of New York only its Farmiga now in place of Diaz.Matt Damon playing a different character than he is used to...not!He plays the only character he can....straight laced,clean shaved,cold and ruthless underneath with his sideways toothy smile.Mark Wahlberg plays.....well just think of his last few performances and you have it.The only thing Alec'Glengarry Glenross'Baldwin is missing is his brass balls from from that film.Someone should have woken Martin Sheen out of his coma for his scenes and Ray Winstone is.......well ...Ray Winstone. Scorsese definitely dropped the ball on this one and at best it is a decent cop movie with some good scenes and OK soundtrack,5 out of 10>
