This is a remake of Hong Kong's police-triad action-drama --"[u]Infernal Affairs[/u]". If you liked this you should see the original, see the whole trilogy.

The reality in this movie is heart-breaking, too bad not many paid attention.

It’s a shame cos the cinematography was pretty striking. Thing is.. this movie could have been better, that’s it.

It's gripping, it's intoxicating, it's sad, and it's reality.

Though the story was changed a lot, I enjoyed it pretty much.

No matter how much you hate crying… you just can't “NOT” watch this.
