- plot is all over the place, they tried to put 3 movies into one and it didn't work at all
- as a result the characters lacked depth
- as a result there was no emotional attachment to any of them
- scenes were just copy and pasted from the original
for those not in the know, watch Infernal Affairs II (one of my favourite movies of all time, and the movie on which it is based) and you'll know what I mean
ughh, I have to watch something else now to get that pathetic movie out of my head

Different strokes for different folks, never watched the Chinese original so for me it was an something fresh even though I knew it was a remake. I enjoyed it, I would go so far to say as it's one of my top 10 favorite gangster movies. I didn't find it broken up and was easy to follow but I could imagine if I seen the original I might have a different opinion.
