For what? For nothing

There are some movies, out of an indescribable feeling, that I always watch again and again, like this one.

There are several scenes that attract me to watch again and again:
Depp's depressed and free eyes at the beginning and end of the film;
Depp explaining to his colleagues what it means to forgot about it;
Al said that I just want that boat;
Al Christmas did Dish;
Depp slapped his wife and said, I'm not like them but like them.

As for Al Pacino's acting skills, I think he performed the best in this film, with a degree of relaxation, not as exaggerated as the thief of fire, and there is no shadow of the godfather. Just a miserable little character in the mafia. But it's touching and even a little intimate.

Depp's ability to convey character and information with his eyes is impeccable.

This pair is very interesting, Pacino is playing what is like, except for those more exaggerated roles, which are convincing, and Depp is playing himself most of the time.

I like this film better than the Hong Kong version of Infernal Affairs. This film is very straightforward. In the face of the $500 reward awarded by the FBI at the end, I think about my friends being purged because of me. For what? For nothing.

The music at the beginning and end of the movie plays, and you will know that this is a tragedy.
