should have been cast in the DiCaprio role.
See "Infernal Affairs" and see it done "right."
I bet Scorsese wanted to cast like that but DiCaprio wanted the juicier role.
Of course, the film has lots of other fatal flaws.
Good entertainment, yes, but life's too short to waste on trashy remakes of excellent films.
