Who ever heard of Westerners copying Asians

Rating: 1/10 (14 October 2006)

Shocking is the only word for the originality of this movie.
The movie is an almost exact replica of a Chinese film made 4-5 years ago called "Infernal Affairs" which won every nomination at the Chinese version of the Academy Awards. Not only was Infernal Affairs better in every aspect, it was original.
The director and writer of this movie should be sued on the same basis that Taiwanese counterfeit makers are arrested for making Pradda with two "Ds", Nikey with a "Y" and Soney with an "E".
With all the money Hollywood makes, you'd think there would be some left for originality. And to top that off, instead of an improvement which most remakes are, this movie did not do the original justice.
To those that are interested in watching this movie, may I suggest paying less to buy the DVD of Infernal Affairs, where popcorn would not be a requirement to enjoy the movie, but rather a distraction from concentrating on a well made original film.
