It should be bigger than a pay-back.

This movie is right my type. Even people like me who do not fancy Honkong movie, after watching , I started to feel that good scripts and good directors could happen anywhere.
Idon't know why, but the rewritten script is a bit more reasonable. However the tiny little difference did actually not affect my opinion on either of the twins.
I like the scence that after Queenan died Collin called Billy. Billy picked the phone but said nothing. Both o them are waiting for the other one to talk. For one: Who is that? How does he know me?
How much does he know me? Can I trust him? What should I say? For the other one: Who is that? Why does he not talk? What does he wait for? Does he know me? Should I talk to him? What should I say? How I can explain? Every single movement on their faces, I can never forget. And this part is better than it in.
And the other part is the music. The music when Billy went to find Collin to get his ID back. If my guess is correct, it is the sound appeared when they were at the police school, training. The sound of gunshots, the sound of loading, and when Collin stepped out of his office, the sound of a bullet going through human's body. I like it. Sometimes the music is weird and sometimes it freaks me out. But this part is good. There are people killing each other and there are people killing themselves.
But I don't like the end. Collin died for the revenge by Dignam. His death can mean more than "pay back". I am looking into it for a bigger issue.

    (8.5/10) The story frame belongs to "Infernal Affairs", but other than that, it belongs to Martin Scorsese. There is no torn and dazed identity of the Hong Kong version. Here is more of "cat and mouse". "Game"-like police and robber struggle. At first, the two character clues were almost parallel and radial. At first, I thought of Quentin's style. Talking about tuberculosis, violence, and narration, F**k was flying all over the sky, and several scenes were just hilarious and very fun. The editing and soundtrack are very good. Matt Damon is slightly inferior to Xiao Li, with multiple reversals at the end, returning to the basic beliefs of bandit movies. (I like this "serious play" tone. For Scorsese, Oscar is just a late greeting.)

    The plot of the dog's blood, the end of the dog's blood, the adaptation of the dog's blood. It also feels that Leonardo's performance is more tense.

  • Frank Costello: You get your period yet, Carmen?

  • Lazio: [during a conference briefing about Costello and his crew] without asking too many questions do you have anyone in with Costello presently?

    Dignam: Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe fuck yourself.
