i saw it.

just an americanised version of countless HK \ asian crime dramas that have been going since the 80's (its based Infernal Affairs.. a koren one)

Still good though!!!!


Jack Nicholson is just well..Jack... Matt Damon and Leo do a good job, as does Mark Wharlberg.. good film alround dodgy accents aside.

If you have seen any asian cinema crime drama from the last 20 years you can guess the ending though :P

Yeah, it's basically a remake of "Infernal Affairs" (of which I was a big fan), but it's totally different at the same time. Less flashy violence, much more grit.

I didn't think the Bah-stan accents where dodgy, so much as annoying for the first wee while.

The only improvement I would have made would be to get rid of Ray Winstone and put in Brendan Gleason in the part of French. No matter what he does, Winstone always comes off a bit too "geezer". Gleason would have been great.

Brilliant movie, totally reccomend to anyone who likes thrillers.

Was very funny to see Ray "the daddy" Winston in there with an american accent.

Totally changed my views on Leonardo dicaprio, hes really good in this.

apparentlY Damon is from Boston

I doubt I will ever think Leonardo Da Ladyboy will ever be good, after his performance in Titanic
