Good Movie but a bit too much

Rating: 8/10 (10 October 2006)

I happened to watch the movie on opening day. It's a very good movie since it was a remake of one of my favourite movies actually called "Infernal Affairs", which stars 1/4 of HK's heavenly kings (top idol) entertainer Andy Lau (Matt Damon's character) and Tony Leung (Leo's role). I loved the setting and the plot and how their facial expressions were dead on when they act out certain scenes. The cons? I did not however liked the fact that they only had 1 female lead since there are supposed to be 2 like the original but this had the 2 characters merged one person. I like how the actress portrayed herself but it didn't feel right. Another thing is that it felt too long as if they tried to combine all three of the movies into one.
