Highlights:
- Alan Mak, Wai-keung Lau - the writer director duo deserve great praise for this classy police film. Scorsese's remake of this classic - The Departed, unjustly, fetched him an Oscar! It is fair enough to consider the overlooking of Shutter Island for nominations as delayed justice.
- The man who plays the undercover cop Yan - He commands respect & is supported well by the mole officer.
- The best of the best scenes in the film are - phone trace during the first goods exchange, the gangster trap scene, the scene of the death of the senior officer, the touching climax.
