For you people who have seen 'Infernal Affairs' this film is similar in some ways, but not as brilliant! It has a very nice twist in the end though I must say!
The 2 main characters Andy Lau and Jacky Cheung pull this of fantastically, together there have been friends for a long time. You see the rivalry and caring relationship they have towards each other.
The 2 other supporting actors are Hong Kong singers: Shawn Yue and Edison Chen. Shawn does a good job once again, but Edison seriously need to take some acting lessons to be the same standard as Shawn Yue. Both have starred in many films together (IA, Inital D), but every film Shawn Yue wins the toss. These 2 play 2 youngster trying to get into the "gangster world"
Overall I rate this film a 6.5/10 don't expect too high ratings for this film.... those of you who haven't seen Infernal Affairs, I definitely recommend that you watch "Jiang Hu" (Blood Brothers/Gong Wu) first then watch Infernal Affairs! You will see a HUGE difference!!!
