speaking of internal affairs, someone told me internal affair I actually has multiple endings, is that true?
Yes, there are two different endings to Infernal Affair, one for mainland China audiences and one for the rest of the world. The Chinese film censors did not want the movie to end with the bad guy winning.

IMHO, Infernal Affair was much tighter and better paced than the departed.

yep, dvd has both versions. i'm sure you can find it on hkflix.com or ebay. i loved I and II...does the departed play out over all 3 movies? or is it just based on the first one? i'm interested in seeing the US version now!

This is simply a masterpiece..well directed, cast, shot, paced and acted. a good story, although complex and convoluted, and the film is a tad long. i loved the performances each of the superb cast gave. i would recommend this to anyone who likes marty and cop/criminal films.
9.5 outta 10, go see it. a good story, well told.

there was one scene with jack and leonardo that the camea moved back and forth between them, then had them together in one shot, and then jack behind leonardo...i could not choose between who to look at...they both just took over the scene.
