Based on the Japanese movie series Infernal Affairs this is one of the best adaptations from one culture to another that I think I have seen in a film. The best thing about this film is that you actually care for the characters, this was something that I couldn't say for the original Infernal Affairs, the characters in that movie were just too flat. The suspense and dramatic climaxes are really built up in this movie.
Another reason that I love this movie is that there is a friend of mine that has a good size role. By good size I mean that while its only about a 5 minute scene, he isn't an extra. If you watch the movie again look for the scene that Begins with a firecracker being lit. It is a scene in which DiCaprio is interrogating a man in his apartment, and he shoots the man in the knee. The one getting interrogated is my friend Joe Riccobene. I am glad his scene stayed in the movie even if the scenes that explain why DiCaprio was going to see him the first place was cut.
Check it out, this movie rocks!
