Slick, glossy, fast-paced, the film Internal Affairs starring Andy Lau and Tony Leung was a big local and regional box office success in 2002. So much so that everyone involved went on to make two rubbishy sequels (Internal Affairs 2, Internal Affairs 3).
Now comes Martin Scorsese's remake The Departed. Any good? No idea.
But Mister B can recommend the original film. Here's the trailer (with difficult-to-read English subtitles):

I have seen that film and would also recommend it. I don't think Marty, et al are giving it enough credit.
Bu that's always the way with remakes of "foreign" fims, isn't it?
Still, I am surprised no one has picked up director Johnnie To's gripping crime narrative, PTU. About one of Hong Kong's Police Tactical Units, and how one of its members loses his gun and the team has one night to turn over Kowloon and find it. Very excellent!
