it was hong kong but yeah ... the original was way better ... i say if you're gonna re-do a movie - you have to make it better and this one didn't come close to me ...
Hallelujah!!
Another sane indvidual joins the world. Also - how anyone can say "Marky" Mark's performance was good....what exactly was the point of his character in this???
Infernal Affairs kicks ass - no questions, no debates, no arguements.
It's about time Hollywood got over it's terrible re-make phase and started investing in some GOOD original film-making.

if edward norton had delivered the same performance as wahlberg did, there'd be no questioning it. he's not good in everything he does, but he was good in this.
and yes i agree hollywood needs to get an original thought.
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
Saw the movie tonight in my basement on my 10 foot projector screen (best 1200$ I ever spent) and yeah it was awesome..not the best I've seen but yeah really good..worth a watch if you haven't seen it
Digging this thread out of the grave...no pun intended...it's been on hbo/cinemax quite a bit and I can never turn it off...
Great flick!!!
Favorite scene - when Costello screams at Fitzy about dumping a body in the marsh - awesome - and then says..."Proceed" and the Dropkicks come in...great stuff!!!
I saw this film the other night for the first time and wow. I saw it again last night and wow. I love hearing the old Beantown accents and shots around the city.
BTW that was one great quote and it certainly stood out when I saw it. I thought it was odd how she fell on top of the other guy. Great line.

I watched it on Friday, and I've gotta say I don't get what all the fuss is about. It was ok, better than staring at the wall for 2 hours, but best picture of the year? That makes me glad I didn't waste any time watching any of the other nominees.
i have to agree.....really not oscar worthy.....but very entertaining.....
i felt that way when both movies first came out, but i just watched the departed earlier today and it was much better than the first time. it was definitely incredibly over-hyped, but it is a fantastic movie.

so, was Costello an FBI informant? I got lost on that part.
And what was in the black box that Damon got after graduating the academy? Cell phone perhaps?
Great flick!!!

is it really that good?
i'm going to have to check it out.

hi Esther, now we are all going to be sick, thanks
there's actually two sequels to Infernal Affairs; Part 3 is an actual sequel and part 2 is a prequel.
The Departed is somewhat based on all three in one.
But I.A. 1 is incredible. You'll have to watch it about three or four times before you get it.

sounds like my kind of movie!
is it readily available at video stores?
